More quotes by Warren Buffett
I don't really think that, as a society, we [americans] want to confer blessings on generation after generation who contribute nothing to society, simply because somebody in the far distant past happened to amass a great sum of wealth.
Warren Buffett
In business, I look for economic castles protected by unbreachable 'moats'.
Warren Buffett
In the great majority of cases we simply do not know enough about the industry or company to come to sensible judgments-in that situation we pass.
Warren Buffett
The active investors will have their returns diminished by a far greater percentage than will their inactive brethren. That means that the passive group - the know-nothings - must win.
Warren Buffett
To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What's needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework. You must supply the emotional discipline.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
It's got to be the best intellectual exercise out there. You're seeing through new situations every ten minutes. In the stock market you don't base your decisions on what the market is doing, but on what you think is rational. Bridge is about weighing gain/loss ratios. You're doing calculations all the time.
Warren Buffett
We have learned to turn out lots of goods and services, but we haven't learned as well how to have everybody share in the bounty. The obligation of a society as prosperous as ours is to figure out how nobody gets left too far behind.
Warren Buffett
You can be sure that over the next 10 years, you'll see something that you did not think was possible.
Warren Buffett
We also believe candour benefits us as managers. The CEO who misleads often in public eventually misleads himself in private.
Warren Buffett
I would say the biggest single cause was we had an incredible residential real estate bubble.
Warren Buffett
If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don't care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.
Warren Buffett
Sound investing can make you very wealthy if you're not in too big a hurry
Warren Buffett
I don't know that I could draw one that's perfect. But I'd rather by approximately right than precisely wrong, and it would be precisely wrong to turn it down.
Warren Buffett
It's the deleveraging that's going on right now that has caused the credit crisis.
Warren Buffett
