I would rather sustain the penalties resulting from over-conservatism than face the consequences of error, perhaps with permanent capital loss, resulting from the adoption of New Era philosophy where trees really do grow to the sky.

More quotes by Warren Buffett
There's no use running if you're on the wrong road.
Warren Buffett
The stock market is a no-called-strike game. You don’t have to swing at everything – you can wait for your pitch.
Warren Buffett
I have no idea on timing. It’s easier to tell what will happen than when it will happen. I would say that what is going on in terms of trade policy is going to have very important consequences.
Warren Buffett
If you do smart things and use leverage and do one wrong thing along the way, it could wipe you out, because anything times zero is zero. But it's reinforcing when the people around you are doing it successfully, you're doing it successfully, and it's a lot like Cinderella at the ball.
Warren Buffett
Risk is a part of God's game, alike for men and nations.
Warren Buffett
You should be unconcerned about short-term price action when you own the securities directly, just as you were unconcerned when you owned them indirectly through BPL. I think about them as businesses, not stocks, and if the business does all right over the long term, so will the stock.
Warren Buffett
We don't have to be smarter than the rest. We have to be more disciplined than the rest.
Warren Buffett
Investing requires qualities of temperament way more than it requires qualities of intellect.
Warren Buffett
An investor needs to do very few things right as long as he or she avoids big mistakes.
Warren Buffett
Occasionally, a man must rise above principles.
Warren Buffett
Forecasts usually tell us more of the forecaster than of the forecast
Warren Buffett
They [Goverment] take from the woman who comes in and takes the wastebaskets out.
Warren Buffett
There is nothing like writing to force you to think and get your thoughts straight.
Warren Buffett
It's easy to identify many investment managers with great recent records. But past results, though important, do not suffice when prospective performance is being judged. How the record has been achieved is crucial.
Warren Buffett
What's nice about investing is you don't have to swing at every pitch.
Warren Buffett
A home is one of the most important assets that most people will ever buy. Homes are also where memories are made and you want to work with someone you can trust.
Warren Buffett
Knowing the edge of your competency is important. If you think you know more than you do, you will get in trouble.
Warren Buffett
What could be more advantageous in an intellectual contest - whether it be chess, bridge, or stock selection - than to have opponents who have been taught that thinking is a waste of energy?
Warren Buffett
It is impossible to unsign a contract, so do all your thinking before you sign.
Warren Buffett
The best thing that happens to us is when a great company gets into temporary trouble...We want to buy them when they're on the operating table.
Warren Buffett
