- By far, the most popular Warren Buffett quote has to be “Rule #1: Never lose money. Rule #2: Never forget rule #1″ . Without a doubt Warren Buffett is the investing world’s most quotable person. I have to give thanks to brainyquote.com for providing these not too popular Warren Buffett quotes.
- Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.
- 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.
- It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.
- Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote.
- 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.
- Risk is a part of God’s game, alike for men and nations.
- 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.
- 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.’
- 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.
- 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.”

My favorite most recent quote from WB: “If I had to put all of my net worth into one stock, that would be the stock” in reference to Wells Fargo. -May 2, 2009.
I love Mr. Buffet’s investment strategies, but I simply do not see Wells Fargo as a power company right now, especially when one considers their exposure to commercial real estate mortgages.

I’m about 3 months late on this (it was just linked in today’s post here: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Dividends4life/~3/VQcu_bvzFX4/), but that WFC quote referred to isn’t quite accurate, it’s more along the lines of:
“I had a class meeting that day—it’s the only time any of those guys have gotten me to name a stock…somebody with a Blackberry checked the price, it was below $9. I said I’d put all my net worth into it on that day.”
300% return in 5 months, not a bad call.
