More quotes by 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
When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.
Warren Buffett
The future is never clear you pay a very high price in the stock market for a cheery consensus. Uncertainty actually is the friend of the buyer of long-term values.
Warren Buffett
I measure success by how many people love me. And the best way to be loved is to be lo veable.
Warren Buffett
If at first you do succeed, quit trying on investing.
Warren Buffett
My wealth has come from a combination of living in America, some lucky genes, and compound interest.
Warren Buffett
If you were at Lehman, the same thing happened. If you were at AIG, the shareholders are getting creamed on these things. And those shareholders are not just a bunch of big shots in Wall Street. Those are pension funds, and those are investors all over the country. I wouldn't worry too much about that. Justice won't be perfect on it.
Warren Buffett
Always associate yourself with people who are better than you.
Warren Buffett
I prefer liquor store robbers with hungry kids to companies that locate offshore to avoid U.S. taxes.
Warren Buffett
Wild swings in share prices have more to do with the lemming- like behaviour of institutional investors than with the aggregate returns of the company they own.
Warren Buffett
The key to success is emotional stability.
Warren Buffett
If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.
Warren Buffett
Investing requires qualities of temperament way more than it requires qualities of intellect.
Warren Buffett
Market price, while used exclusively to value our investments in minority positions, is not a relevant factor when applied to our controlling interests.
Warren Buffett
Success in investing doesn’t correlate with I.Q. Once you are above the level of 25 once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing.
Warren Buffett
Outstanding long-term results are produced primarily by avoiding dumb decisions, rather than by making brilliant ones.
Warren Buffett
When people talk about cash being king, it's not king if it just sits there and never does anything.
Warren Buffett
Never give up searching for the job that you're passionate about.
Warren Buffett
I have worked with investors for 60 years and I have yet to see anyone - not even when capital gains rates were 39.9 percent in 1976-77 - shy away from a sensible investment because of the tax rate on the potential gain.
Warren Buffett
In fact, in my adult lifetime, I don't think I've ever seen people as fearful economically as they are right now.
