Buy stocks like you buy your groceries, not like you buy your perfume.
Warren Buffett
Image
The less prudence with which others conduct their affairs, the greater the prudence with which we should conduct our own affairs.
Warren Buffett
Image
We're perfectly willing to trade away a big payoff for a certain payoff.
Warren Buffett
Image
The best business returns are usually achieved by companies that are doing something quite similar today to what they were doing five or ten years ago.
Warren Buffett
Image
We have provided capital here with a couple of institutions recently. The Federal government did that in the '30s for the RFC and I think there could well be a proper role for government in that.

The range of derivatives contracts is limited only by the imagination of man (or sometimes, so it seems, madmen). Say you want to write a contract speculating on the number of twins to be born in Nebraska in 2020. No problem-at a price, you will easily find an obliging counterparty.

If you want your business to survive for 100 years, you've got to make it through every single day for 100 years. It's not enough to do it 99.9% of the time.

The American economy is going to do fine. But it won't do fine every year and every week and every month. I mean, if you don't believe that, forget about buying stocks anyway... It's a positive-sum game, long term. And the only way an investor can get killed is by high fees or by trying to outsmart the market.

We don't get paid for being busy, we get paid for being right.
Warren Buffett
Image
I do not believe in inheriting your position in society based on which womb you come from... I think a rich person should leave his children enough so they can do anything, but not enough so they can do nothing.
Warren Buffett
Image
I look at everything. That's my job. I really do, every day. I think about everything.
Warren Buffett
Image
If the world couldn't see your results, would you rather be thought of as the world's greatest investor but in reality have the world's worst record? Or be thought of as the world's worst investor when you were actually the best?
Warren Buffett
Image
The patient that's on the floor with the cardiac arrest is not Wall Street. It's the American economy.
Warren Buffett
Image
We need to throw the resources at this that are necessary. But like I say, we are not spending money. I mean, if we buy these assets intelligently, the United States Treasury will make money. I mean, it's borrowing money. It's just a few percent a year.
Warren Buffett
Image
I don't think you can have a better secretary of the Treasury than Hank Paulson.
Warren Buffett
Image
I've made money over the years by buying into good companies, run by good people, at attractive prices. And I don't try and make it out of buying into the market at one point and selling at another point.

Never give up searching for the job that you're passionate about.

If you look at the Forbes 400, they are paying a lower rate, accounting payroll taxes, than their secretary or - whomever around their office.
