Warren Buffett
Very successful people say no to almost everything.
Warren Buffett
We're still in a recession. We're not gonna be out of it for a while, but we will get out.
Warren Buffett
I mean, Hank Paulson is in there [ Treasury] at the wrong time, probably shouldn't have taken the job. He's a friend of mine. But he knows markets, he knows corporations' work, he knows money, and he's got the interests of the country at heart.
Warren Buffett
