I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here.

Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it.
视市场变动为朋友而不是敌人;从蠢人那里得利而不是期望成为那样。
Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.
从亿万富翁那里我知道,钱只能勾勒出他们基本的特征。如果在富有之前他们就是混蛋的话,那么他们只是拥有十亿钞票的混蛋。
Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.

The only time to buy these is on a day with no "y" in it.
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.
There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.
Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.
Value is what you get.
We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.'
We enjoy the process far more than the proceeds.
We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.

You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideas come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing.
You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.
Your premium brand had better be delivering something special, or it's not going to get the business.
