More quotes by Warren Buffett
Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.
Warren Buffett
Take the probability of loss times the amount of possible loss from the probability of gain times the amount of possible gain. That is what we're trying to do. It's imperfect, but that's what it's all about.
Warren Buffett
I want to be able to explain my mistakes. This means I do only the things I completely understand.
Warren Buffett
The key to success is emotional stability.
Warren Buffett
I’ve never believed in risking what my family and friends have and need in order to pursue what they don’t have and don’t need.
Warren Buffett
When you listen to tax-cut rhetoric, remember that giving one class of taxpayer a break requires - now or down the line - that an equivalent burden be imposed on other parties. In other words, if I get a break, someone else pays. Government can't deliver a free lunch to the country as a whole. It can however, determine who pays for lunch.
Warren Buffett
I never invest in anything that I don't understand.
Warren Buffett
Be fearful when there is greed and be greedy when there is fear.
Warren Buffett
I never buy anything unless I can fill out on a piece of paper my reasons. I may be wrong, but I would know the answer to that ...I'm paying $32 billion today for the Coca Cola Company because... If you can't answer that question, you shouldn't buy it. If you can answer that question, and you do it a few times, you'll make a lot of money.
Warren Buffett
I have worked with investors for 60 years and I have yet to see anyone - not even when capital gains rates were 39.9 percent in 1976-77 - shy away from a sensible investment because of the tax rate on the potential gain.
Warren Buffett
For some reason people take their cues from price action rather than from values. Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
Warren Buffett
We have usually made our best purchases when apprehensions about some macro event were at a peak. Fear is the foe of the faddist, but the friend of the fundamentalist.
Warren Buffett
I was lucky enough to be born in a time and place where society values my talent, and gave me a good education to develop that talent, and set up the laws and the finanical system to let me do what I love doing-and make a lot of money doing it. The least I can do is help pay for all that.
Warren Buffett
I'm sitting with six and a half billion dollars we're going to use to close the Mars-Wrigley deal on October 6. I've got to hand over that six and a half billion on October 6. Now, I have to be very careful about who I leave it in between now and then, because they're expecting that he show up.
Warren Buffett
In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts the Depression a dozen or so recessions and financial panics oil shocks a flu epidemic and the resignation of a disgraced president. Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497.
Warren Buffett
The extraordinary business does not require good management.
Warren Buffett
If you have more than 120 or 130 I.Q. points, you can afford to give the rest away. You don't need extraordinary intelligence to succeed as an investor.
Warren Buffett
Forecasts usually tell us more of the forecaster than of the forecast
Warren Buffett
I make plenty of mistakes and I'll make plenty more mistakes, too. That's part of the game. You've just got to make sure that the right things overcome the wrong ones.
Warren Buffett
In one way, I'm sympathetic to the institutional reluctance to face the music. I'd give a lot to mark my weight to 'model' rather than to 'market.'
Warren Buffett
