Warren Buffett Quotes, Average Quotes, Two Quotes

Investors... can't pick stocks that are better than average. Stocks are a good thing to own over time. There's only two things you can do wrong: You can buy the wrong ones, and you can buy or sell them at the wrong time. And the truth is you never need to sell them.

Also, the lower will be the expected results, assuming different choices have different expectations of performance.

Be hated. One does not have to be evil to be hated. In fact, it’s often the case that one is hated precisely because one is trying to do right by one’s own convictions.

There are a great many bad people in the world, and if you are not offending them, you must be bad yourself.
