"In looking for people to hire, look..." - Quote by Warren Buffett

“Charlie and I decided long ago that in an investment lifetime, it's too hard to make hundreds of smart decisions. That judgment became ever more compelling as Berkshire's capital mushroomed and the universe of investments that could significantly affect our results shrank dramatically. Therefore, we adopted a strategy that required our being smart and not too smart at that, only a very few times. Indeed, we now settle for one good idea a year.”

“It's almost impossible to overpay the truly extraordinary CEO... but the species is rare.”

“You know, with your money and my brains, I mean, there's no telling how far we'd go.”

“Hire people more for their judgment than for their talents.”

“If he's got golf clubs in his truck or a camper in his driveway, I don't hire him.”

“The good music companies do an amazing thing. They have people who can pick the person that's gonna be successful out of 5,000 candidates. And there's not enough information to do that - it's an intuitive process.”

“We are truth-speakers, we men of Gondor. We boast seldom, and then perform, or die in the attempt. "Not if I found it on the highway would I take it," I said. Even if I were such a man as to desire this thing, and even though I knew not clearly what this thing was when I spoke, still I should take those words as a vow, and be held by them.”

“The superior man is firm in the right way and not merely firm.”

“The true gentleman does not preach what he practices till he has practiced what he preaches.”
