Warren Buffett
I mean, you know, you're not going to change the human animal. And the human animal really doesn't get a lot smarter.
Warren Buffett
I think you should read everything you can. In my case, by the age of 10, I'd read every book in the Omaha public library about investing, some twice. You need to fill your mind with various competing thoughts and decide which make sense.
Warren Buffett
Taking jobs to build up your resume is the same as saving up sex for old age.
Warren Buffett
I am not in the business of predicting general stock market of business fluctuations. If you think I can do this, or think it is essential to an investment program, you should not be in the partnership.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
The best asset is your own self. You can become to an enormous degree the person you want to be
Warren Buffett
I certainly do believe anyone engaged in the management of money should have a standard of measurement, and that both he and the party whose money is managed should have a clear understanding why it is the appropriate standard, what time period should be utilized, etc.
Warren Buffett
