in Success “You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don’t do too many things wrong.”
in Business “Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.”
in Business “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.”
in Focus “Focus alone is not enough; putting in the time to commit is also crucial to achieve success.”
in Education “In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don’t have the first, the other two will kill you.”
in Goals “Our goal is to find an outstanding business at a sensible price, not a mediocre business at a bargain price.”
in Inspirational “Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”
in Discipline “Successful Investing takes time, discipline and patience. No matter how great the talent or effort, some things just take time: You can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.”
