That's the ultimate test of how you have lived your life. The trouble with love is that you can't buy it. You can buy sex. You can buy testimonial dinners. You can buy pamphlets that say how wonderful you are. But the only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love. But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get. -- Warren Buffett Intelligent people make decisions based on opportunity costs. -- Charlie Munger Most of us go through life as failures, because we are waiting for the "time to be right" to start doing something worthwhile. Do not wait. The time will never be "just right." Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along. -- Napoleon Hill "I really like my life. I've arranged my life so that I can do what I want." -- Warren Buffett The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too hard to be broken. - Talk to Columbia Business School -- Warren Buffett "If you're in the luckiest 1 per cent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 per cent." "Buffett blasts system that lets him pay less tax than secretary", Times Online, 28 June, 2007. "Our favourite holding period is forever." -- Warren Buffett If you understand the business, you don't need to own very many of them. If you have a harem of 40 women, you never get to know any of them very well. -- Warren Buffett Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Step by step you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. But you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day - if you live long enough - most people get what they deserve. -- Charlie Munger A story that was passed down from Ben Graham illustrates the lemminglike behavior of the crowd: Let me tell you the story of the oil prospector who met St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. When told his occupation, St. Peter said, "Oh, I'm really sorry. You seem to meet all the tests to get into heaven. But we've got a terrible problem. See that pen over there? That's where we keep the oil prospectors waiting to get into heaven. And it's filled, we haven't got room for even one more." The oil prospector thought for a minute and said, "Would you mind if I just said four words to those folks? I can't see any harm in that," said St. Pete. So the old-timer cupped his hands and yelled out, "Oil discovered in hell!" Immediately, the oil prospectors wrenched the lock off the door of the pen and out they flew, flapping their wings as hard as they could for the lower regions. "You know, that's a pretty good trick," St. Pete said. "Move in. The place is yours. You've got plenty of room." The old fellow scratched his head an d said, "No. If you don't mind, I think I'll go along with the rest of them. There may be some truth to that rumor after all." -- Warren Buffett on Benjamin Graham "I just don't see anything available that gives any reasonable hope of delivering such a good year and I have no desire to grope around, hoping to 'get lucky' with other people's money. I am not attuned to this market environment, and I don't want to spoil a decent record by trying to play a game I don't understand just so I can go out a hero." -- Warren Buffett What you really want to do in investments is figure out what's important and knowable. If it's unimportant or unknowable you forget about it. -- Warren Buffett We select our marketable equity securities in much the way we would evaluate a business for acquisition in its entirety. We want businesses to be one (a) that we can understand; (b) with favorable long-term prospects; (c) operated by honest and competent people; and (d) available at a very attractive price. -- Warren Buffett "10. How good are the company’s cost analysis and accounting methods? -- Philip A. Fisher - "One of the Fifteen points to look for in a common stock" “It turns out that value investing is something that is in your blood. There are people who just don’t have the patience and discipline to do it, and there are people who do. So it leads me to think it’s genetic.” -- Seth Klarman I am a better investor because I am a businessman and a better businessman because I am an investor. -- Warren Buffett “In short, we believe market efficiency is a fine academic theory that is unlikely ever to bear meaningful resemblance to the real world of investing.” -- Seth Klarman A girl in a convertible is worth five in the phonebook. - Berkshire Hathaway 2000 Chairman’s Letter. -- Warren Buffett
