Never give up searching for the job that you’re passionate about. Try to find the job you’d have if you were independently rich. Forget about the pay. When you’re associating with the people that you love, doing what you love, it doesn’t get any better than that.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
Diversification may preserve wealth, but concentration builds wealth.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
OUR leaders have asked for “shared sacrifice.” But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched.
Warren Buffett
Investing requires qualities of temperament way more than it requires qualities of intellect.
Warren Buffett
As an investor with small capital, one should prefer businesses that have high returns on capital and that require little incremental investment to grow.
