“The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.”

Warren Buffett quotes

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

Buffett once said that “Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.” In other words, be careful who you trust. Most of the financial “advice” offered by equity analysts, by any range of advisers, and in the media should be taken with a grain of salt

“The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.”

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”

“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

“Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.”

“Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you are doing.”
