Warren Buffett

It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.

Forecasts may tell you a great deal about the forecaster; they tell you nothing about the future.

Can you really explain to a fish what it’s like to walk on land? One day on land is worth a thousand years of talking about it, and one day running a business has exactly the same kind of value.

Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.

You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out.

Successful investing takes time, discipline and patience. No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.

Stay confident even when something bad happens. It is just a bump in the road. It will pass.

The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem.

Never stop fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you.

No wise man ever wished to be younger.

Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline do you get rational behavior.

Every choice you make has an end result.

Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.

We all prospect, and don’t even know we’re doing it. When you start the dating process, you are actually prospecting for the person you want to marry. When you’re interviewing employees, you are prospecting for someone who will best fit your needs.

It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference.

People are basically the same the world over. Everybody wants the same things – to be happy, to be healthy, to be at least reasonably prosperous, and to be secure. They want friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope that tomorrow is going to be even better than today.

An optimist stays up to see the New Year in. A pessimist waits to make sure the old one leaves.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

If you haven’t found it yet keep looking.

If you want to be rich… don’t allow yourself the luxury of excuses.

My goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family.
