I don't need 15 houses. Owning real estate doesn't mean much to me. I don't like to think about things like that. I don't need 12 boats, or even the world's largest boat with a crew of 80. I'd have to take care of them, to worry about them. I get a lot more fun out of life without all the bells and whistles.
It’s not that I want money. It’s the fun of making money and watching it grow.
Fear is the foe of the faddist, but the friend of the fundamentalist.
The Fed is the greatest hedge fund in history.
I find that the standard of living does not go up in proportion with the cost of living. The trick in life is to do things that are fun all the time.

I would say that life at 84, I am having as much fun as I've ever had in my life. I mean I get to do what I love every day with the people I love-and it just doesn't get any better than that.

The only time to buy these is on a day with no 'y' in it.

Our favorite holding period is forever.
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.
