I’ve never believed in risking what my family and friends have and need in order to pursue what they don’t have and don’t need.

Investors should remember that excitement and expenses are their enemies.

Money to some extent sometimes let you be in more interesting environments. But it can't change how many people love you or how healthy you are.

In fact, in my adult lifetime, I don't think I've ever seen people as fearful economically as they are right now.

The idea that you try to time purchases based on what you think business is going to do in the next year or two, I think that's the greatest mistake that investors make because it's always uncertain. People say it's a time of uncertainty. It was uncertain on September 10th, 2001, people just didn't know it. It's uncertain every single day. So take uncertainty as part of being involved in investment at all. But uncertainty can be your friend. I mean, when people are scared, they pay less for things. We try to price. We don't try to time at all.

It irritates the hell out of me but you can't buy love.

Success is having people love you that you want to have love you.
