More quotes by Warren Buffett
I'm sitting with six and a half billion dollars we're going to use to close the Mars-Wrigley deal on October 6. I've got to hand over that six and a half billion on October 6. Now, I have to be very careful about who I leave it in between now and then, because they're expecting that he show up.

Warren Buffett
If you don't feel comfortable owning something for 10 years, then don't own it for 10 minutes.
Warren Buffett
Don't risk what is important to you, to get what is not important to you.
Warren Buffett
The (stock) market is there only as a reference point to see if anybody is offering to do anything foolish. When we invest in stocks, we invest in businesses.
Warren Buffett
... but the important thing is that when you do find one where you really do know what you are doing, you must buy in quantity.... Charlie and I have made a dozen or so very big decisions relative to net worth, although not as big as they should have been. And in each of those, we've known that we were almost certain to be right going in.
Warren Buffett
Never do anything in life if you would be ashamed of seeing it printed on the front page of your hometown newspaper for your friends and family to see.
Warren Buffett
I have never been able to understand why the tax comes as such a body blow to many people since the rate on long-term capital gain is lower than on most likes of endeavor (tax policy indicated digging ditches is regarded as socially less desirable than shuffling stock certificates).
Warren Buffett
I think I could make you fifty percent a year on one million dollars. No, I know I could. I guarantee that.
Warren Buffett
Charlie and I have a number of filters that things have to get through before we'll think about them.
