More quotes by Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
AIG would be doing fine today. It was one of the ten largest companies in the United States in terms of market value, over 200 billion, the most respected insurer and everything in the world.
Warren Buffett
The truth is, everything that has happened in my life... that I thought was a crushing event at the time, has turned out for the better.
Warren Buffett
... it's important to have the right monetary policy. It's important for, to have the right fiscal policy. But it's nowhere near as important as just the normal regenerative capacity of American capitalism.
Warren Buffett
