More quotes by Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP all sitting members of congress are ineligible for reelection.

Warren Buffett
I'm just lucky to have been in the right place at the right time. Another place, another time, I wouldn't have been as successful. Society enabled me to make my money and my money should go to society.
Warren Buffett
We've got all the ingredients for a sensational future.
Warren Buffett
The only question is whether you’re going to do it today or tomorrow. If you keep saying you’re going to do it tomorrow, you’ll never do it. You have to get on it today.
Warren Buffett
If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.
Warren Buffett
