"I have two basic convictions: First, more harm has been done by weak persons than by wicked persons; secondly, the problems of the world are caused by the weakness of goodness rather than by the strength of evil. It is evident that we have allowed technology to outstrip social controls...Man must catch up with what he has created."

Thoughts on the Business of Life from Warren Buffett

"It takes twenty years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently."

"You've got to understand accounting. You've got to. That's got to be like a language to you."

"Lose money for the firm, and I will be understanding; lose a shred of reputation for the firm, and I will be ruthless."

"The important thing is to know what you know and know what you don't know."

"I have every possession I want. I have a lot of friends who have a lot more possessions. But I feel in some cases the possession possesses them, rather than the other way around."

 The United States is a country where half the money is spent buying food and the other half is spent trying to lose weight.
