Warren Buffett
I'm the luckiest guy in the world in terms of what I do for a living. No one can tell me to do things I don't believe in or things I think are stupid.
Warren Buffett
In the insurance business, there is no statute of limitation on stupidity.

Warren Buffett
The (stock) market is there only as a reference point to see if anybody is offering to do anything foolish. When we invest in stocks, we invest in businesses.
Warren Buffett
If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.
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
The stockmarket is a semi-psychotic creature given to extremes of elation and despair.
Warren Buffett
A pack of lemmings looks like a group of rugged individualists compared with Wall Street when it gets a concept in its teeth.
Warren Buffett
If you're an investor, you're looking on what the asset is going to do, if you're a speculator, you're commonly focusing on what the price of the object is going to do, and that's not our game.
Warren Buffett
