Warren Buffett
I choose to work with every single person that I work with. That ends up being the most important factor. I don't interact with people I don't like or admire. That's the key. It's like marrying.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
The gross profits in many workouts appear quite small. It's a little like looking for parking meters with some time left on them. However, the predictability coupled with a short holding period produces quite decent average annual rates of return after allowance for the occasional substantial loss.
Warren Buffett
You have to be able to communicate in life and probably schools underemphasize that. If you can't talk to people or write, you're giving up your potential.
Warren Buffett
The U.S. Treasury has got borrowing costs like nobody else has.
Warren Buffett
All day you wait for the pitch you like then when the fielders are asleep, you step up and hit it.
