More quotes by Warren Buffett
I asked him what he wanted to do for his career, and he replied that he wanted to go into a particular field, but thought he should work for McKinsey for a few years first to add to his resume. To me that's like saving sex for your old age. It makes no sense.
Warren Buffett
Do not put all your eggs in one basket.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
First come the innovators, then come the imitators, then come the idiots.
Warren Buffett
We only want to link up with people whom we like, admire, and trust. ... We do not wish to join with managers who lack admirable qualities, no matter how attractive the prospects of their business. We've never succeeded in making a good deal with a bad person.
Warren Buffett
The greatest investment a young person can make is in their own education, in their own mind. Because money comes and goes. Relationships come and go. But what you learn once stays with you forever.
Warren Buffett
Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.

Warren Buffett
Gold has two significant shortcomings, being neither of much use nor procreative.
Warren Buffett
I don't need 15 houses. Owning real estate doesn't mean much to me. I don't like to think about things like that. I don't need 12 boats, or even the world's largest boat with a crew of 80. I'd have to take care of them, to worry about them. I get a lot more fun out of life without all the bells and whistles.
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
I lose confidence in other people, all kinds of institutions.
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
Other guys read Playboy. I read annual reports.
