More quotes by Warren Buffett
Investing is forgoing consumption now in order to have the ability to consume more at a later date.

So some guy may know how to make money in cocoa beans, but I don't so I just let him have that. But it's got to be something I understand. It's got to be a business with fundamentally good economics. It's got to be a management that I like and trust and admire. And it's got to be a price that makes sense.
Warren Buffett
We would do best in a market where everyone acted foolishly.
Warren Buffett
You have to turn over a lot of rocks to find those little anomalies. You have to find the companies that are off the map - way off the map.
Warren Buffett
The best thing that happens to us is when a great company gets into temporary trouble...We want to buy them when they're on the operating table.
Warren Buffett
Failure comes from ego, greed, envy, fear, imitation. I have success not because I am smart, but because I am rational.
Warren Buffett
Would you rather be the world's greatest lover, but have everyone think you're the world's worst lover? Or would you rather be the world's worst lover but have everyone think you're the world's greatest lover? Now, that's an interesting question.
Warren Buffett
You should look at stocks as small pieces of business.
Warren Buffett
We always see shifts in employment. If you think about it, if you go back to 1800, it took 80 percent of the labor force to produce enough food for the country. Now it takes less than 3 percent. Well, the truth is that market systems move people around.
Warren Buffett
I think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can't be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they're not getting some other matter.
Warren Buffett
I have a wonderful family. I have a job that I love and wonderful people who help me with it. It can't get any better than that.
Warren Buffett
I don't want to hold out false hopes that the - by some magic moment, that things will turn around in a couple months because they wouldn't, Charlie. I mean, and it's a big mistake to try and mislead people.
Warren Buffett
Don't risk what is important to you, to get what is not important to you.
Warren Buffett
