More quotes by Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
We've seen what can be accomplished when we use 50% of our human capacity. If you visualize what 100% can do, you'll join me as an unbridled optimist about America's future.
Warren Buffett
Buy stocks like you buy your groceries, not like you buy your perfume.
Warren Buffett
Forecasts usually tell us more of the forecaster than of the forecast
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
My rather puritanical view is that any investment manager, whether operating as broker, investment counselor of a trust department, investment company, etc., should be willing to state unequivocally what he is going to attempt to accomplish and how he proposes to measure the extent to which he gets the job done.
Warren Buffett
If you're an investor, you're looking on what the asset is going to do, if you're a speculator, you're commonly focusing on what the price of the object is going to do, and that's not our game.
Warren Buffett
Asset-heavy businesses generally earn low rates of return - rates that often barely provide enough capital to fund the inflationary needs of the existing business, with nothing left over for real growth, for distribution to owners, or for acquisition of new businesses
Warren Buffett
In our view, derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction carrying dangers that, while latent, are potentially lethal.
Warren Buffett
If you lose money for the firm, I will be forgiving. If you lose reputation, I will be ruthless.
Warren Buffett
I do not like debt and do not like to invest in companies that have too much debt, particularly long-term debt. With long-term debt, increases in interest rates can drastically affect company profits and make future cash flows less predictable.
Warren Buffett
We can afford to lose money - even a lot of money. But we can't afford to lose reputation - even a shred of reputation.
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
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
I'd rather have a $10 million business making 15 per cent than a $100 million business making 5 per cent.
Warren Buffett
