Warren Buffett is an American
investor, business tycoon, and philanthropist. He is the Chairman of
Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett is considered to be one of the most successful
investors in the world and has a net worth of over 85.6 billion dollars, which
makes him the world's fourth richest person.
Buffett is a philanthropist who has
pledged to give away 99% of his fortune to good causes, mainly through
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He founded The Giving Pledge in 2009
with his friend Bill Gates, whereby billionaires pledge to give away at least
half of their fortunes.
Although Buffett is best known as a
stock market investor, many of his most famous quotes have a universal
application in business, and life in general. Here are my ten favourite quotes
by Warren Buffet:
“I’ve never swung at a ball while it’s
still in the pitcher’s glove.”
“Never ask a barber if you need a
haircut.”
“You can’t produce a baby in one month
by getting nine women pregnant.”
“You can’t make a good deal with a bad
person.”
“Price is what you pay. Value is what
you get.”
“Risk comes from not knowing what
you're doing.”
“Beware of geeks bearing formulas.”
“It’s only when the tide goes out that
you learn who’s been swimming naked.”
“Someone is sitting in the shade today
because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”
“You only have to do a very few things
right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.”
