Good profits simply are not inconsistent with good behavior.

The important thing is to keep playing, to play against weak opponents and to play for big stakes.

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.

Ignore the stock market, ignore the economy, and buy a business you understand.
Warren Buffett
Image
In an inflationary world, a toll bridge (like company) would be a great thing to own because you've laid out the capital costs. You built it in old dollars and you don't have to keep replacing it.
Warren Buffett
Image
It is to our advantage to have securities do nothing price-wise for months, or perhaps years, while we are buying them.
Warren Buffett
Image
The stockmarket is a semi-psychotic creature given to extremes of elation and despair.
Warren Buffett
Image
The less prudence with which others conduct their affairs, the greater the prudence with which we should conduct our own affairs.
Warren Buffett
Image
I have pledged - to you, the rating agencies and myself - to always run Berkshire with more than ample cash. We never want to count on the kindness of strangers in order to meet tomorrow's obligations. When forced to choose, I will not trade even a night's sleep for the chance of extra profits.

If you're extremely rich, and you have got children, my theory was, you give them enough so they can do anything, but not enough so they can do nothing.
