More quotes by Warren Buffett
You have to turn over a lot of rocks to find those little anomalies. You have to find the companies that are off the map - way off the map.
Warren Buffett
You should be unconcerned about short-term price action when you own the securities directly, just as you were unconcerned when you owned them indirectly through BPL. I think about them as businesses, not stocks, and if the business does all right over the long term, so will the stock.
Warren Buffett
My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress.
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
You could be somewhere where the mail was delayed three weeks and do just fine investing.
Warren Buffett
We intend to continue our practice of working only with people whom we like and admire. This policy not only maximizes our chances for good results, it also ensures us an extraordinarily good time.
Warren Buffett
Wall Street makes its money on activity. You make your money on inactivity.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
You don't ever ask a barber whether you need a haircut.
Warren Buffett
I did not think I would see the day when, you know, an AIG would not be able to have its checks clear.
Warren Buffett
The market system rewards me outlandishly for what I do, but that doesn't mean I'm any more deserving of a good life than a teacher or a doctor or someone who fights in Afghanistan.
Warren Buffett
No formula in finance tells you that the moat is 28 feet wide and 16 feet deep. That's what drives the academics crazy. They can compute standard deviations and betas, but they can't understand moats.
Warren Buffett
If you want a government that's going to do the things we ask our government to do, you've got to get it from somebody.
Warren Buffett
The power of unconditional love. I mean, there is no power on earth like unconditional love.
Warren Buffett
You can't buy what is popular and do well.
Warren Buffett
You get what I call the natural progression, the three Is. The innovators, the imitators, and the idiots.
Warren Buffett
Over the years, Charlie [Munger, Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman] and I have observed many accounting-based frauds of staggering size. Few of the perpetrators have been punished many have not even been censured. It has been far safer to steal large sums with pen than small sums with a gun.
Warren Buffett
Valuing a business is part art and part science.
Warren Buffett
Knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to focus on.
Warren Buffett
If you're extremely rich, and you have got children, my theory was, you give them enough so they can do anything, but not enough so they can do nothing.
Warren Buffett
