I lose confidence in other people, all kinds of institutions.
Warren Buffett
Image
I just don't see anything available that gives any reasonable hope of delivering such a good year and I have no desire to grope around, hoping to 'get lucky' with other people's money. I am not attuned to this market environment, and I don't want to spoil a decent record by trying to play a game I don't understand just so I can go out a hero.

The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love. But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.

I think you should read everything you can. In my case, by the age of 10, I'd read every book in the Omaha public library about investing, some twice. You need to fill your mind with various competing thoughts and decide which make sense.
Warren Buffett
Image
Many stock options in the corporate world have worked in exactly that fashion: they have gained in value simply because management retained earnings, not because it did well with the capital in its hands.
Warren Buffett
Image
Equities will do well over time - you just have to avoid getting excited when other people are getting excited.
Warren Buffett
Image
I know what I want to do and it makes sense to get going.
Warren Buffett

Wild swings in share prices have more to do with the lemming- like behaviour of institutional investors than with the aggregate returns of the company they own.
Warren Buffett
Image
Mark Zuckerberg will be a hero to many young entrepreneurs 20 years from now. Bill Gates will be a hero to others, and they will look to those [people] like I read books when I was in my teens about Rockefeller or Carnegie.

Image
You can't stand to see your neighbor getting rich. You know you're smarter than he is and he's doing these things and he's getting rich.

I've never been very fully employed either but just think of what it's like, you know, to go home with a mortgage payment you know and kids and everything else. My dad had that happen to him in the early '30s.

I'm the luckiest guy in the world in terms of what I do for a living. No one can tell me to do things I don't believe in or things I think are stupid.
