Sayings by Warren Buffett
I really like to do nothing.
You can't make a good deal with a bad person.
I read annual reports for fun.
The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.
I'm not interested in cars, clothes, or anything like that. I like to eat hamburgers.
The rich invest in time, the poor invest in money.
Can it be that there is some magic ingredient in Omaha's water?
If you were born in the United States, you have already won the lottery. If you find yourself complaining about our country, take a long trip around the world. Ensure you visit developing nations in Asia, South America, and Africa. Also visit Socialist and Communist countries. Talk with locals about their daily lives. Once you return, you will never again complain about America. Not even the DMV.
If you are a whiner, stop it! You are giving the rest of us a headache.
Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you are doing.
Decide what you would like your obituary to say and live the life to deserve it.
Don't beat yourself up over past mistakes – learn at least a little from them and move on.
The most important investment you can make is in yourself.
Some investors might be surprised to learn that the name Berkshire Hathaway comes from one of Buffett's worst investments.
You will never be perfect, but you can always be better.
When you have money to invest, first look at investment opportunities in companies you already own.
It is never too late to improve.
Don't put success and money over everything else.
Learn to say 'No'.
First, understand, then act.
