More quotes by Warren Buffett
I always say that in investing you want to buy stock in a company that has a business that's so good that an idiot can run it, because sooner or later one will. We have a country like that.
Warren Buffett
Writing a check separates a commitment from a conversation.
Warren Buffett
I'll bring my tax returns you bring yours. I'll meet you anytime anywhere.
Warren Buffett
We look for things I can understand. A lot of businesses I don't understand.
Warren Buffett
The great personal fortunes in the country weren't built on a portfolio of fifty companies. They were built by someone who identified one wonderful business. With each investment you make, you should have the courage and the conviction to place at least 10% of your net worth in that stock.
Warren Buffett
Paradoxically, when 'dumb' money acknowledges its limitations, it ceases to be dumb.
Warren Buffett
The truth is, everything that has happened in my life... that I thought was a crushing event at the time, has turned out for the better.
Warren Buffett
It is better to point out your own mistakes than have somebody else do it.
Warren Buffett
If the reason for doing something is that everyone else is doing it, it's not a good enough reason.
Warren Buffett
The big question about how people behave is whether they've got an Inner Scorecard or an Outer Scorecard. It helps if you can be satisfied with an Inner Scorecard.
Warren Buffett
We always live in an uncertain world. What is certain is that the United States will go forward over time.
Warren Buffett
House prices just soared beyond - beyond reason in many places and they got financed in silly ways, and people lied about loans, all kinds of accesses entered into it. But that is what - that is the single biggest cause of why we're here.
Warren Buffett
We don't have to be smarter than the rest. We have to be more disciplined than the rest.
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
I've seen more people fail because of liquor and leverage -- leverage being borrowed money. You really don't need leverage in this world much. If you're smart, you're going to make a lot of money without borrowing.
Warren Buffett
In one way, I'm sympathetic to the institutional reluctance to face the music. I'd give a lot to mark my weight to 'model' rather than to 'market.'
Warren Buffett
Investment students need only two well-taught courses - How to Value a Business and How to Think About Market Prices
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
Truly conservative actions arise from intelligent hypotheses, correct facts and sound reasoning.
Warren Buffett
I believe the chance of any event causing Berkshire to experience financial problems is essentially zero. We will always be prepared for the thousand-year flood in fact, if it occurswe will be selling life jackets to the unprepared.
