More quotes by Warren Buffett
My father was the best person i've ever known.
Warren Buffett
Investors... can't pick stocks that are better than average. Stocks are a good thing to own over time. There's only two things you can do wrong: You can buy the wrong ones, and you can buy or sell them at the wrong time. And the truth is you never need to sell them.
Warren Buffett
When people talk about cash being king, it's not king if it just sits there and never does anything.
Warren Buffett
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.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
People will always try to stop you from doing the right thing if it is unconventional.

Warren Buffett
I have an 800 freephone number now that I call if I get the urge to buy an airline stock. I call at two in the morning and I say: My name is Warren and I'm an aeroholic. And then they talk me down.
Warren Buffett
Stocks of companies selling commodity-like products should come with a warning label: Competition may prove hazardous to human wealth.
Warren Buffett
In business, I look for economic castles protected by unbreachable 'moats'.
Warren Buffett
The good thing is, we have household formation in this country.
Warren Buffett
I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don't like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn't that a little like saving up sex for your old age?
Warren Buffett
In a difficult business, no sooner is one problem solved than another surfaces - never is there just one cockroach in the kitchen.
Warren Buffett
It's good to learn from your mistakes. It's better to learn from other people's mistakes.
Warren Buffett
You should invest like a Catholic marries: for life.
Warren Buffett
Beware of geeks bearing formulas.
Warren Buffett
Writing checks to the IRS that include strings of zeros does not bother me ... Overall, we feel extraordinarily lucky to have been dealt a hand in life that enables us to write large checks to the government rather than one requiring the government to regularly write checks to us-say, because we are disabled or unemployed.
Warren Buffett
