But some of his quotes, ring true for PM, others he should follow.
Warren Buffett’s quotes On life
1. “You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don’t do too many things wrong.”
2. “Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be a more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.”
3. “It is not necessary to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.”
4. “What we learn from history is that people don’t learn from history.”
5. “Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.”
6. “There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.”
7. “Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money.”
8. “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”
9. “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.”
10. “Long ago, Ben Graham taught me that ‘Price is what you pay; value is what you get.’ Whether we’re talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.”

I'm surprised you've never heard of Warren Buffett. But, then again, I didn't really know who he was until I was almost 30 - though I had heard his name before.
He does have some great quotes and is an intersting man to say the least.

I've neverd heard of Warren Buffett before, or at least if I have then it didn't stick around in my memory. So how much money did he make and how did he do it?

What deeply intriguing posts (not being sarcastic). I like how they are better than the self improvement stuff they give in training courses. *likes* I've heard of Warren Buffet's name, but could not remember what he did. I thought he was a TV channel boss in Australia. And I guess I'm now officially a drifter on these boards. Not feeling burned out anymore, I picked up Godus again, if only to satisfy my addiction to harvesting the wheat and ore from the very huge plots. I'm working towards getting better sculpting cards so that I can mine the gems. Also opened(?) a few beacons. With nothing else decent to play with, I thought it would be a waste of time (ironically), if I don't harvest, collect and expand. At least I have a bit of a plan now...
