Warren Buffett

If you are in a poker game and after 20 minutes you don’t know who the patsy is, then you’re the patsy.

The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.

The most important investment you can make is in yourself.

Honesty is a very expensive gift, Don’t expect it from cheap people.

If past history was all that is needed to play the game of money, the richest people would be librarians.

Tell me who your heroes are and I’ll tell you who you’ll turn out to be.

Success tends to go not to the person who is error-free, because he also tends to be risk-averse. Rather it goes to the person who recognizes that life is pretty much a percentage business. It isn’t making mistakes that’s critical; it’s correcting them and getting on with the principal task.

My whole life is about winning. I don’t lose often. I almost never lose.

Success is only meaningful and enjoyable if it feels like your own.

People who are fools don’t get successful, and they don’t get to be successful if they are worried about their popularity.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It’s something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.

Success is not all about money. It’s about having the resources and the ability to live the life that you have personally dreamed of.

The recipe of success is to study while others are sleeping, work while others are loafing, prepare while others are playing, and dream while others are wishing.

When you’re successful, things have a momentum and you can’t tell if you have created the momentum or it’s creating you.

I really believe that being in the moment is the key to happiness and success, and being constantly glued to your phone can have a big impact on your relationship.

Everyone who achieves success in a great venture, solves each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They keep going regardless of the obstacles they met.

The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A minute of success pays for years of failure.
