Let me know what your problem is, and I will try to make it more difficult for you.

There are worse situations than drowning in cash and sitting, sitting, sitting. I remember when I wasn’t awash in cash — and I don’t want to go back.

Most people will see declining returns [due to inflation]. One of the great defenses if you're worried about inflation is not to have a lot of silly needs in your life - you don't need a lot of material goods.

there are all kinds of wonderful new inventions that give you nothing as owners except the opportunity to spend a lot more money in a business that's still going to be lousy. The money still won't come to you. All of the advantages from great improvements are going to flow through to the customers.

Just avoid things like racing trains to the crossing, doing cocaine, etc. Develop good mental habits.

It takes character to sit there with all that cash and do nothing. I didn't get to where I am by going after mediocre opportunities.

There's no way that you can live an adequate life without making many mistakes.
