I came across a recent blog post that lists the ten quotes below, and since I couldn't agree more with the original poster's conclusion...that although the quotes below are not anywhere near as popular as much of what Buffet has been quoted saying in the past, they are just as wise....I decided to post them myself.
-- Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.
-- I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here.
-- It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.
-- Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote.
-- Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.
-- Risk is a part of God’s game, alike for men and nations.
-- Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.
-- We believe that according the name ‘investors’ to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a ‘romantic.’
-- You do things when the opportunities come along. I’ve had periods in my life when I’ve had a bundle of ideas come along, and I’ve had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I’ll do something. If not, I won’t do a damn thing.
