Warren Buffett

I buy expensive suits. They just look cheap on me.

I'm 89. I've been doing this for 70 years. I've never seen anything like this. We will get through this, but I don't know how long it will take.

I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, just sitting and thinking. That is very uncommon in American business. I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulsive decisions than most people in business. I do it because I like this kind of life.

The Chainsmokers are going to do something. They haven't done it yet, but they will. I like some of their songs.

You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.

I’m not a big fan of predictions. My crystal ball is broken.

When the tide goes out, you find out who’s been swimming naked.

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.

I have a lot of things I want to do. I want to live to be 100. I want to be able to hit a golf ball 250 yards. I want to be able to dance with my wife.

The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect.

I actually eat like a 6-year-old. I mean, I really do. I have a Coke for breakfast.

Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.

I don't get a kick out of owning things. I don't need a lot of possessions.

Money is not everything. Make sure you earn a lot before speaking such nonsense.

The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.

I just sit in my office and read all day.

I’m not trying to jump over seven-foot bars, I’m looking for one-foot bars that I can step over.

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

If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.

Charlie and I have not learned how to solve difficult business problems. What we have learned is to avoid them.
