More quotes by Warren Buffett
Focus on return on equity, not earnings per share.
Warren Buffett
If you were at Lehman, the same thing happened. If you were at AIG, the shareholders are getting creamed on these things. And those shareholders are not just a bunch of big shots in Wall Street. Those are pension funds, and those are investors all over the country. I wouldn't worry too much about that. Justice won't be perfect on it.
Warren Buffett
Be fearful when the markets get greedy, be greedy when the markets get fearful.
Warren Buffett
Investing is the greatest business in the world because you never have to swing. You stand at the plate the pitcher throws you General Motors at 47! U.S. Steel at 39! And nobody calls a strike on you. There's no penalty except opportunity. All day you wait for the pitch you like then, when the fielders are asleep, you step up and hit it.
Warren Buffett
A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought.
Warren Buffett
Too often, executive compensation in the U.S. is ridiculously out of line with performance. That won't change, moreover, because the deck is stacked against investors when it comes to the CEO's pay.
Warren Buffett
What the wise do in the beginning, fools do in the end.
Warren Buffett
The power of unconditional love. I mean, there is no power on earth like unconditional love.
Warren Buffett
Tell me your heroes and I'll tell you how your life will end up
Warren Buffett
All I have to do is think and not be influenced by others.
Warren Buffett
To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What's needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework. You must supply the emotional discipline.
Warren Buffett
Banking is very good business if you don't do anything dumb.
Warren Buffett
For some reason people take their cues from price action rather than from values. Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
Warren Buffett
When you're associating with the people that you love, doing what you love, it doesn't get any better than that.
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
Buy into a company because you want to own it, not because you want the stock to go up.
Warren Buffett
The woman that comes in, takes the wastebasket away, she's paying 15.3 or whatever it is on payroll tax alone. I mean it is - I never had it so good.
Warren Buffett
We have a country where I don't know whether it's a million households a year or more, but good form.
Warren Buffett
I did not think I would see the day when, you know, an AIG would not be able to have its checks clear.
Warren Buffett
We've got more productive capacity now than we ever have.
Warren Buffett
