I look for businesses in which I think I can predict what they're going to look like in ten to fifteen years time. Take Wrigley's chewing gum. I don't think the internet is going to change how people chew gum.

More quotes by Warren Buffett
If you don't make mistakes you can't make decisions.
Warren Buffett
Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.
Warren Buffett
I'll tell you why I like the cigarette business. It cost a penny to make. Sell it for a dollar. It's addictive. And there's a fantastic brand loyalty.
Warren Buffett
Credit worthiness is like virginity, it can be preserved but not restored very easily, so it is crazy to play around with it.
Warren Buffett
Be fearful when the markets get greedy, be greedy when the markets get fearful.
Warren Buffett
You know, people talk about this being an uncertain time. You know, all time is uncertain. I mean, it was uncertain back in - in 2007, we just didn't know it was uncertain. It was - uncertain on September 10th, 2001. It was uncertain on October 18th, 1987, you just didn't know it.
Warren Buffett
There's nothing inappropriate about having debt in America. It's what helped us grow over time. And it's when debt gets out of control that you worry.
Warren Buffett
Government can't deliver a free lunch to the country as a whole. It can, however, determine who pays for lunch. And last week the Senate handed the bill to the wrong party... the poor and middle class.
Warren Buffett
I know that Congress will do the right thing.
Warren Buffett
All but a few of the organizations do not specifically promise to deliver superior investment performance although it is perhaps not unreasonable for the public to draw such an inference from their advertised emphasis on professional management.
Warren Buffett
There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.
Warren Buffett
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.
Warren Buffett
In a bull market, one must avoid the error of the preening duck that quacks boastfully after a torrential rainstorm, thinking that its paddling skills have caused it to rise in the world. A right-thinking duck would instead compare its position after the downpour to that of the other ducks on the pond.
Warren Buffett
The most important investment you can make is in yourself. Very few people get anything like their potential horsepower translated into the actual horsepower of their output in life. Potential exceeds realization for many people...The best asset is your own self. You can become to an enormous degree the person you want to be.
Warren Buffett
An investor should ordinarily hold a small piece of an outstanding business with the same tenacity that an owner would exhibit if he owned all of that business.
Warren Buffett
Invest in as much of yourself as you can, you are your own biggest asset by far.
Warren Buffett
I will do anything that is basically covered by the law to reduce Berkshire's tax rate. For example, on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That's the only reason to build them. They don't make sense without the tax credit.
Warren Buffett
Games are won by players who focus on the playing field -- not by those whose eyes are glued to the scoreboard.
Warren Buffett
I get to do what I like to do every single day of the year.
Warren Buffett
Personally, I really hope I can treat everyone equally. I think I have done a pretty good job so far but I know I can do it better.
Warren Buffett
