Warren Buffett — "I measure success by how many people love me."

"I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business."

"Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget Rule No. 1."

"I don't have a problem with guilt about money. The way I see it is that my money represents an enormous number of claim checks on society."

"It's only when the tide goes out that you discover who's been swimming naked."

"When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact."
