Warren Buffett
Remember that the stock market is manic-depressive.

Warren Buffett
The purpose of life is to be loved by as many people as possible among those you want to have love you
Warren Buffett
You ought to be able to explain why you’re taking the job you’re taking, why you’re making the investment you’re making, or whatever it may be. And if it can’t stand applying pencil to paper, you’d better think it through some more. And if you can’t write an intelligent answer to those questions, don’t do it.
Warren Buffett
In investing, just as in baseball, to put runs on the scoreboard, one must watch the playing field, not the scoreboard.
Warren Buffett
Government can't deliver a free lunch to the country as a whole. It can, however, determine who pays for lunch. And last week the Senate handed the bill to the wrong party... the poor and middle class.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
I think that trying to invest through 535 people is a tough job, you know, and so I would give more latitude.
Warren Buffett
... but the important thing is that when you do find one where you really do know what you are doing, you must buy in quantity.... Charlie and I have made a dozen or so very big decisions relative to net worth, although not as big as they should have been. And in each of those, we've known that we were almost certain to be right going in.
Warren Buffett
