More quotes by Warren Buffett
It's nice to have a lot of money, but you know, you don't want to keep it around forever. I prefer buying things. Otherwise, it's a little like saving sex for your old age.
Warren Buffett
Is management candid with the shareholders?

Warren Buffett
The important thing is to keep playing, to play against weak opponents and to play for big stakes.
Warren Buffett
If the reason for doing something is that everyone else is doing it, it's not a good enough reason.
Warren Buffett
It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.
Warren Buffett
We only want to link up with people whom we like, admire, and trust. ... We do not wish to join with managers who lack admirable qualities, no matter how attractive the prospects of their business. We've never succeeded in making a good deal with a bad person.
Warren Buffett
Fear is the foe of the faddist, but the friend of the fundamentalist.
Warren Buffett
It's a lot easier to buy things than it is to sell them.
Warren Buffett
