"Intensity is the price of excellence...." - Quote by Warren Buffett

“I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business.”

“The latter qualification brings to mind a fellow who applied for a job and stated he had twenty years of experience-which was corrected by a former employer to read "one year's experience-twenty times.”

“If principles can become dated, they're not principles.”

“He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lives a great street-sweeper who did his job well'”

“My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.”

“Actually, all I ever wanted to be was the best in my field.”

“Put 'going the extra mile' to work as part of one's daily habit”

“People see successes that men have made and somehow they appear to be easy. But that is a world away from the facts. It is failure that is easy. Success is always hard. A man can fail easily; he can succeed only by paying out all that he has and is.”

“Wisdom is not found with those who dwell at their ease; rather nature, when she adds brain, adds difficulty.”
