Todays Quote
Birthday Boy
Warren Buffett
You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideas come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing.
Warren Buffett
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.
Warren Buffett
I always knew I was going to be rich. I don't think I ever doubted it for a minute.
Warren Buffett
Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1.
Warren Buffett
It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.
Warren Buffett
I buy expensive suits. They just look cheap on me.
Warren Buffett
Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.
Warren Buffett
If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end - people like myself - should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it.
Warren Buffett
I don't look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.
Warren Buffett
Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction.

Warren Buffett
In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.
Warren Buffett
I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.
Warren Buffett
Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.
Warren Buffett
Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.
Warren Buffett
Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.
Warren Buffett
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Warren Buffett
The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.
Warren Buffett
When you combine ignorance and leverage, you get some pretty interesting results.
Warren Buffett
A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought.
Warren Buffett
Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
