I'm just lucky to have been in the right place at the right time. Another place, another time, I wouldn't have been as successful. Society enabled me to make my money and my money should go to society.

More quotes by Warren Buffett
Charlie and I have a number of filters that things have to get through before we'll think about them.
Warren Buffett
The Noah rule: Predicting rain doesn't count building arks does.
Warren Buffett
You know ... you keep doing the same things and you keep getting the same result over and over again.
Warren Buffett
If, when making a stock investment, you're not considering holding it at least ten years, don't waste more than ten minutes considering it.
Warren Buffett
The important thing is to keep playing, to play against weak opponents and to play for big stakes.
Warren Buffett
We are in effect making a - to some extent, making a choice between future inflation and getting our - getting off the floor. And we're likely - we're likely to have more inflation in the future as a consequence of the things we do to fight the present situation.
Warren Buffett
What could be more advantageous in an intellectual contest - whether it be chess, bridge, or stock selection - than to have opponents who have been taught that thinking is a waste of energy?
Warren Buffett
Read 500 pages every day. That's how knowledge works. It builds up like compound interest.
Warren Buffett
When you listen to tax-cut rhetoric, remember that giving one class of taxpayer a break requires - now or down the line - that an equivalent burden be imposed on other parties. In other words, if I get a break, someone else pays. Government can't deliver a free lunch to the country as a whole. It can however, determine who pays for lunch.
Warren Buffett
Anything can happen anytime in markets. And no advisor, economist, or TV commentator-and definitely not Charlie nor I-can tell you when chaos will occur. Market forecasters will fill your ear but will never fill your wallet.
Warren Buffett
Do what you would do for free, having passion for what you do is the most important thing.
Warren Buffett
Our policy is to concentrate holdings. We try to avoid buying a little of this or that when we are only lukewarm about the business or its price. When we are convinced as to attractiveness, we believe in buying worthwhile amounts.
Warren Buffett
Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well.
Warren Buffett
The financial calculus that Charlie and I employ would never permit our trading a good night's sleep for a shot at a few extra percentage points of return. I've never believed in risking what my friends and family have and need in order to pursue what they don't have and don't need.
Warren Buffett
If you own the only newspaper in town, up until the last five years or so, you have pricing power and you didn't have to go to the office.
Warren Buffett
Economic medicine that was previously meted out by the cupful has recently been dispensed by the barrel. These once unthinkable dosages will almost certainly bring on unwelcome after-effects. Their precise nature is anyone's guess, though one likely consequence is an onslaught of inflation.
Warren Buffett
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.
Warren Buffett
Don't settle for anything other than your passion - if you're lucky enough to find it.
Warren Buffett
He must never forget Charlie's plea: Tell me where I'm going to die, so I'll never go there.
Warren Buffett
If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.
Warren Buffett
