Great Business Quotes!

[Anon3587x]

I could not find a thread for this so I decided to make one.

Let's comprise this thread of great BUSINESS quotes.

Let's try and keep the "inspiration, motivational" quotes out of here unless they are business related.

[FONT=&quot] "It is extraordinary to me that the idea of buying dollar bills for 40 cents takes immediately with people or it doesn't take at all. It's like an inoculation. If it doesn't grab a person right away, I find that you can talk to him for years and show him records, and it doesn't make any difference. They just don't seem able to grasp the concept, simple as it is. A fellow like Rick Guerin, who had no formal education in business, understands immediately the value approach to investing and he's applying it five minutes later. I've never seen anyone who became a gradual convert over a ten-year period to this approach. It doesn't seem to be a matter of IQ or academic training. Its instant recognition or it is nothing.” - Warren Buffett[/FONT]

"The whole concept of dividing it up into 'value' and 'growth' strikes me as twaddle. It's convenient for a bunch of pension fund consultants to get fees prattling about and a way for one advisor to distinguish himself from another. But, to me, all intelligent investing is value investing."
- Charlie Munger

"All intelligent investing is value investing - to acquire more than you are paying for. Investing is where you find a few great companies and then sit on your a$$."
- Charlie Munger

"When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who make it happen, those who let it happen, and those who wonder what happened."
- John M. Richardson, Jr.

"I don't read economic forecasts. I don't read the funny papers."
- Warren Buffett

"We will reject interesting opportunities rather than over-leverage our balance sheet."
- Warren Buffett
