More quotes by Warren Buffett
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure understated.
Warren Buffett
In a bull market, one must avoid the error of the preening duck that quacks boastfully after a torrential rainstorm, thinking that its paddling skills have caused it to rise in the world. A right-thinking duck would instead compare its position after the downpour to that of the other ducks on the pond.
Warren Buffett
We still find very few [stocks] that even mildly interest us. That dismal fact is testimony to the insanity of valuations reached during The Great Bubble. Unfortunately, the hangover may prove to be proportional to the binge.
Warren Buffett

So smile when you read a headline that says Investors lose as market falls. Edit it in your mind to Disinvestors lose as market falls-but investors gain. Though writers often forget this truism, there is a buyer for every seller and what hurts one necessarily helps the other. (As they say in golf matches: Every putt makes someone happy.
Warren Buffett
My father was the best person i've ever known.
Warren Buffett
The trick is, when there is nothing to do, do nothing.
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
Failing conventionally is the route to go as a group, lemmings may have a rotten image, but no individual lemming has ever received bad press
Warren Buffett
My favorite time frame for holding a stock is forever.
Warren Buffett
There is no staff. I make all the investment decisions and I do all my own analysis.
Warren Buffett
Investing in yourself is the best thing you can do. If you've got talents, no one can take them from you.
Warren Buffett
A great investment opportunity occurs when a marvelous business encounters a one-time huge, but solvable problem.
Warren Buffett
I mean, you can explain the fact that these are depressed prices, you know. We think these assets are going to be worth a lot more. And I think that case can be made in certain situations. But I think to just say, you know, we're going to say a dollar of cash is worth $2 all of a sudden, it isn't worth $2. It's worth a dollar today.
Warren Buffett
It is unquestionably true that the investment companies have their money more conventionally invested than we do. To many people conventionality is indistinguishable from conservatism. In my view, this represents erroneous thinking. Neither a conventional nor an unconventional approach, per se, is conservative.
