More quotes by Warren Buffett
Having a large amount of leverage is like driving a car with a dagger on the steering wheel pointed at your heart. If you do that, you will be a better driver. There will be fewer accidents but when they happen, they will be fatal.
Warren Buffett
The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.
Warren Buffett
You have to be able to communicate in life and probably schools underemphasize that. If you can't talk to people or write, you're giving up your potential.
Warren Buffett
I do know that when I am 60, I should be attempting to achieve different personal goals than those which had priority at age 20.
Warren Buffett
The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect.

We look for things I can understand. A lot of businesses I don't understand.
Warren Buffett
Anything can happen in stock markets and you ought to conduct your affairs so that if the most extraordinary events happen, that you're still around to play the next day.
Warren Buffett
Confidence in markets and in institutions, it's a lot like oxygen. When you have it, you don't even think about it. It's indispensable. You can go years without thinking about it. When it's gone for five minutes, it's the only thing to think about.
Warren Buffett
Investors should remember that excitement and expenses are their enemies. And if they insist on trying to time their participation in equities, they should try to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy only when others are fearful.
Warren Buffett
I don't want to be on the other side of the table from the customer. I was never selling anything that I didn't believe in myself or use myself.
Warren Buffett
A prediction about the direction of the stock market tells you nothing about where stocks are headed, but a whole lot about the person doing the predicting.
Warren Buffett
What's hot today isn't likely to be hot tomorrow. The stock market reverts to fundamental returns over the long run. Don't follow the herd.
Warren Buffett
Life is like a snowball. The important thing is finding wet snow and a really long hill.
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
I think the rest of the country should be paying less, the 95 percent that [Barack] Obama talks about or maybe even a little higher than that.
Warren Buffett
We try to buy businesses with good-to-superb underlying economics run by honest and able people and buy them at sensible prices. That's all I'm trying to do.
Warren Buffett
Investing is not as tough as being a top-notch bridge player. All it takes is the ability to see things as they really are.
Warren Buffett
In investing, just as in baseball, to put runs on the scoreboard, one must watch the playing field, not the scoreboard.
