  13. \n
    \u201cIf you don\u2019t feel comfortable owning something for 10 years, then don\u2019t own it for 10 minutes.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  14. \n

  21. \n
    \u201cThe best business returns are usually achieved by companies that are doing something quite similar today to what they were doing five or ten years ago.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  22. \n
    \u201cInvesting is laying out money now to get more money back in the future.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  23. \n
    \u201cThe stock market is a no-called-strike game. You don\u2019t have to swing at everything \u2013 you can wait for your pitch.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  24. \n
    \u201cNever count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good results.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  25. \n
    \u201cI don\u2019t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  26. \n
    \u201cFor some reason, people take their cues from price action rather than from values. What doesn\u2019t work is when you start doing things that you don\u2019t understand or because they worked last week for somebody else. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it\u2019s going up.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  27. \n
    \u201cNever give up searching for the job that you\u2019re passionate about. Try to find the job you\u2019d have if you were independently rich. Forget about the pay. When you\u2019re associating with the people that you love, doing what you love, it doesn\u2019t get any better than that.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  28. \n
    \u201cWe like to buy businesses, but we don\u2019t like to sell them.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  29. \n
    \u201cAs Buffet said in the speech, \u201cHe\u2019s not looking at quarterly earnings projections, he\u2019s not looking at next year\u2019s earnings, he\u2019s not thinking about what day of the week it is, he doesn\u2019t care what investment research from any place says, he\u2019s not interested in price momentum, volume or anything. He\u2019s simply asking: What is the business worth?\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  30. \n
    \u201cBuy companies with strong histories of profitability and with a dominant business franchise.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  31. \n
    \u201cMost people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can\u2019t buy what is popular and do well.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  32. \n
    \u201cOur approach is very much profiting from lack of change rather than from change. With Wrigley chewing gum, it\u2019s the lack of change that appeals to me. I don\u2019t think it is going to be hurt by the Internet. That\u2019s the kind of business I like.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  33. \n
    \u201cWhen asked how he became so successful in investing, Buffett answered: \u2018we read hundreds and hundreds of annual reports every year.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  34. \n
    \u201cWhen a management team with a reputation for brilliance joins a business with poor fundamental economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  35. \n
    \u201cI try to buy stock in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  36. \n
    \u201cOnly those who will be sellers of equities in the near future should be happy at seeing stocks rise.\u00a0 Prospective purchasers should much prefer sinking prices.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  37. \n
    \u201cDiversification is a protection against ignorance. It makes very little sense for those who know what they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  38. \n
    \u201cWide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  39. \n
    \u201cYou\u2019re neither right nor wrong because other people agree with you. You\u2019re right because your facts are right and your reasoning is right \u2013 that\u2019s the only thing that makes you right. And if your facts and reasoning are right, you don\u2019t have to worry about anybody else.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  40. \n
    \u201cIt takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you\u2019ll do things differently.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  41. \n
    \u201cThe first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  42. \n
    \u201cOnly buy something that you\u2019d be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  43. \n
    \u201cI will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  44. \n
    \u201cWhy not invest your assets in the companies you really like? As Mae West said, \u2018Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  45. \n
    \u201cOur favorite holding period is forever.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  46. \n
    \u201cInvesting is laying out money now to get more money back in the future.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  47. \n
    \u201cThe most important thing to do if you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  48. \n
    \u201cMoney is not everything. Make sure you earn a lot before speaking such nonsense.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  49. \n
    \u201cWhen 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.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  50. \n
    \u201cRisk comes from not knowing what you\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  51. \n
    \u201cUnless you can watch your stock holding decline by 50% without becoming panic-stricken, you should not be in the stock market.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  52. \n
    \u201cThe critical investment factor is determining the intrinsic value of a business and paying a fair or bargain price.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  53. \n
    \u201cInvestors making purchases in an overheated market need to recognize that it may often take an extended period for the value of even an outstanding company to catch up with the price they paid.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  54. \n
    \u201cMoney to some extent sometimes let you be in more interesting environments. But it can\u2019t change how many people love you or how healthy you are.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  55. \n
    \u201cRisk can be greatly reduced by concentrating on only a few holdings.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  56. \n
    \u201cIt is not necessary to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  57. \n
    \u201cAn investor should ordinarily hold a small piece of an outstanding business with the same tenacity that an owner would exhibit if he owned all of that business.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  58. \n
    \u201cDiversification may preserve wealth, but concentration builds wealth.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  59. \n
    \u201cGreat investment opportunities come around when excellent companies are surrounded by unusual circumstances that cause the stock to be misappraised.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  60. \n
    \u201cYou won\u2019t keep control of your time, unless you can say \u2018no.\u2019 You can\u2019t let other people set your agenda in life.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  61. \n
    \u201cIn the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  62. \n
    \u201cIf a business does well, the stock eventually follows.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  63. \n
    \u201cCash never makes us happy, but it\u2019s better to have the money burning a hole in Berkshire\u2019s pocket than resting comfortably in someone else\u2019s.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  64. \n
    \u201cWall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls-Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  65. \n
    \u201cA public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  66. \n
    \u201cI never buy anything unless I can fill out on a piece of paper my reasons. I may be wrong, but I would know the answer to that\u00a0\u2026I\u2019m paying $32 billion today for the Coca Cola Company because\u2026<\/em>\u00a0If you can\u2019t answer that question, you shouldn\u2019t buy it. If you can answer that question, and you do it a few times, you\u2019ll make a lot of money.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  67. \n
    \u201cThe investor of today does not profit from yesterday\u2019s growth.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  68. \n
    \u201cI knew a lot about what I did when I was 20. I had read a lot, and I aspired to learn everything I could about the subject.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  69. \n
    \u201cYou only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don\u2019t do too many things wrong.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  70. \n
    \u201cIt\u2019s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  71. \n
    \u201cYou ought to be able to explain why you\u2019re taking the job you\u2019re taking, why you\u2019re making the investment you\u2019re making, or whatever it may be. And if it can\u2019t stand applying pencil to paper, you\u2019d better think it through some more. And if you can\u2019t write an intelligent answer to those questions, don\u2019t do it.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  72. \n
    \u201cLook at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  73. \n
    \u201cAn investor needs to do very few things right as long as he or she avoids big mistakes.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  74. \n
    \u201cDo a lot of reading.\u201d \u2013\u00a0on how to determine the value of a business<\/em><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  75. \n
    \u201cSomebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don\u2019t have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it\u2019s true. If you hire somebody without [integrity], you really want them to be dumb and lazy.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  76. \n
    \u201cOnly when the tide goes out do you discover who\u2019s been swimming naked.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  77. \n
    \u201cThe fact that people will be full of greed, fear, or folly is predictable. The sequence is not predictable.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  78. \n
    \u201cTime is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  79. \n
    \u201cI do not like debt and do not like to invest in companies that have too much debt, particularly long-term debt. With long-term debt, increases in interest rates can drastically affect company profits and make future cash flows less predictable.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  80. \n
    \u201cWe will reject interesting opportunities rather than over-leverage our balance sheet.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  81. \n
    \u201cI always knew I was going to be rich. I don\u2019t think I ever doubted it for a minute.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  82. \n
    \u201cTurnarounds seldom turn.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  83. \n
    \u201cIf at first you do succeed, quit trying on investing.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  84. \n
    \u201cI don\u2019t measure my life by the money I\u2019ve made. Other people might, but certainly don\u2019t.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  85. \n
    \u201cAnything can happen in stock markets and you ought to conduct your affairs so that if the most extraordinary events happen, that you\u2019re still around to play the next day.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  86. \n
    \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t own common stocks if a 50 per cent decrease in their value in a short period of time would cause you acute distress.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  87. \n
    \u201cRead Ben Graham and Phil Fisher read annual reports, but don\u2019t do equations with Greek letters in them.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  88. \n
    \u201cThe business schools reward complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.\u201c<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
