More quotes by Warren Buffett
It is better to point out your own mistakes than have somebody else do it.
Warren Buffett
Risk can be greatly reduced by concentrating on only a few holdings.
Warren Buffett
I don't need 15 houses. Owning real estate doesn't mean much to me. I don't like to think about things like that. I don't need 12 boats, or even the world's largest boat with a crew of 80. I'd have to take care of them, to worry about them. I get a lot more fun out of life without all the bells and whistles.
Warren Buffett
I certainly have no desire to sell a good controlled business run by people I like and admire, merely to obtain a fancy price. However, specific conditions may cause the sale of one operating unit at some point.
Warren Buffett
Having a large amount of leverage is like driving a car with a dagger on the steering wheel pointed at your heart. If you do that, you will be a better driver. There will be fewer accidents but when they happen, they will be fatal.
Warren Buffett
I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business.
Warren Buffett
I mean there is no capital requirements to it or anything of the sort. And basically, I said there were possibly financial weapons of mass destruction, and they had them. They destroyed AIG. They certainly contributed to the destruction of Bear Sterns and Lehman. Although Lehman had other problems, too.
Warren Buffett
All there is to investing is picking good stocks at good times and staying with them as long as they remain good companies.
Warren Buffett
It's easier to create money than to spend it.
Warren Buffett
I don't think you can have a better secretary of the Treasury than Hank Paulson.
Warren Buffett
Does the business have favourable long term prospects?
Warren Buffett
We don't get paid for activity, just for being right. As to how long we'll wait, we'll wait indefinitely.
Warren Buffett
When we really sit back with a smile on our face is when we run into a situation we can understand, where the facts are ascertainable and clear, and the course of action obvious.
Warren Buffett
On his Giving Pledge philanthropy: The way I got the message out was to get a copy of FORBES, look down that 400 list and start making phone calls! Bill and Melinda [Gates] did the same thing. So keep publishing the list so I can milk it.
Warren Buffett
It's never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but its not always a smooth ride.
Warren Buffett
Be brave when others are afraid, and afraid when others are brave.
Warren Buffett
When you combine ignorance and leverage, you get some pretty interesting results.
Warren Buffett
I would say the most satisfying thing actually is watching my three children each pick up on their own interests and work many more hours per week than most people that have jobs at trying to intelligently give away that money in fields that they particularly care about.
Warren Buffett
The one piece of advice I can give you is, do what turns you on. Do something that if you had all the money in the world, you’d still be doing it. You’ve got to have a reason to jump out of bed in the morning.
Warren Buffett
During inflation, Goodwill is the gift that keeps on giving.
