More quotes by Warren Buffett
When you build a bridge, you insist that it can carry 30,000 pounds, but you only drive 10,000-pound trucks across it. And that same principle works in investing.
Warren Buffett
I like to go for cinches. I like to shoot fish in a barrel. But I like to do it after the water has run out.
Warren Buffett
I get to do what I like to do every single day of the year.
Warren Buffett
I don't think you can have a better secretary of the Treasury than Hank Paulson.
Warren Buffett
Take the probability of loss times the amount of possible loss from the probability of gain times the amount of possible gain. That is what we're trying to do. It's imperfect, but that's what it's all about.
Warren Buffett
If you cannot control your emotions, you cannot control your money.
Warren Buffett
We need a tax system that essentially takes very good care of the people who just really aren't as well adapted to the market system but are nevertheless doing useful things in the society.
Warren Buffett
Your money can be inflated away but your knowledge and talent cannot.
Warren Buffett
Emotional makeup is more important than technical skill
Warren Buffett
The true investor welcomes volatility ... a wildly fluctuating market means that irrationally low prices will periodically be attached to solid businesses.
Warren Buffett
We like to buy businesses, but we don't like to sell them.
Warren Buffett
One of the ironies of the stock market is the emphasis on activity. Brokers, using terms such as 'marketability' and 'liquidity,' sing the praises of companies with high share turnover... but investors should understand that what is good for the croupier is not good for the customer. A hyperactive stock market is the pick pocket of enterprise.
Warren Buffett
There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.
Warren Buffett
I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business. I do it because I like this kind of life.
Warren Buffett
I mean, you know, you're not going to change the human animal. And the human animal really doesn't get a lot smarter.
Warren Buffett
We've got more productive capacity now than we ever have.
Warren Buffett
I just think that - when a country needs more income and we do, we're only taking in 15 percent of GDP, I mean, that - that - when a country needs more income, they should get it from the people that have it.
Warren Buffett
A diamond cannot be polished without friction, nor a person perfected without trials. Someone is enjoying shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Warren Buffett
If you don’t feel comfortable making a rough estimate of the asset’s future earnings, just forget it and move on. No one has the ability to evaluate every investment possibility. But omniscience isn’t necessary you only need to understand the actions you undertake.
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.
