There comes a time when you ought to start doing what you want. Take a job that you love. You will jump out of bed in the morning. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don't like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn't that a little like saving up sex for your old age? Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett quote: "You only have to do a very few things right in your life so..."
You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong. Warren Buffett
I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business. I do it because I like this kind of life. Warren Buffett

Life is like a snowball. The important thing is finding wet snow and a really long hill. Warren Buffett
You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideals come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an ideal next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing. Warren Buffett

Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre. Warren Buffett
I won't close down a business of subnormal profitability merely to add a fraction of a point to our corporate returns. I also feel it inappropriate for even an exceptionally profitable company to fund an operation once it appears to have unending losses in prospect. Adam Smith would disagree with my first proposition and Karl Marx would disagree with my second; the middle ground is the only position that leaves me comfortable. Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett quote: "Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if..."
Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years. Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett quote: "Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your..."
Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it. Warren Buffett
Gold is a way of going long on fear, and it has been a pretty good way of going long on fear from time to time. But you really have to hope people become more afraid in a year or two years than they are now. And if they become more afraid you make money, if they become less afraid you lose money, but the gold itself doesn’t produce anything. Warren Buffett
No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant. Warren Buffett
In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president. Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497. Warren Buffett
The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves-and the better the teacher, the better the student body. Warren Buffett
