"If you can't read the scoreboard. You..." - Quote by Warren Buffett

“The financial calculus that Charlie and I employ would never permit our trading a good night's sleep for a shot at a few extra percentage points of return. I've never believed in risking what my friends and family have and need in order to pursue what they don't have and don't need.”

“It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.”

“OUR leaders have asked for “shared sacrifice.” But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched.”

“One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one willl only in time come to hate. In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: "This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me.”

“If you tell me, I will listen. If you show me, I will see. If you let me experience, I will learn!”

“In analysing history do not be too profound, for often the causes are quite superficial.”

“To a mathematician the eleventh means only a single unit: to the bushman who cannot count further than his ten fingers it is an incalculable myriad.”

“Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.”

“For if we're destroyed, the knowledge is dead...We're nothing more than dust jackets for books...so many pages to a person.”
