"Since the long-term corporate outlook changes only infrequently, dividend patterns should change no more often. But over time distributable earnings that have been withheld by managers should earn their keep. If earnings have been unwisely retained, it is likely that managers, too, have been unwisely retained." - Warren Buffett

"The line separating investment and speculation, which is never bright and clear, becomes blurred still further when most market participants have recently enjoyed triumphs. Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money." - Warren Buffett

Second, speculation is most dangerous when it looks easiest." - Warren Buffett

After all, what are we paying the accountants for if it is not to deliver us the "truth" about our business. But the accountants’ job is to record, not to evaluate. The evaluation job falls to investors and managers." - Warren Buffett

"The key to investing is not assessing how much an industry is going to affect society, or how much it will grow, but rather determining the competitive advantage of any given company and, above all, the durability of that advantage" - Warren Buffett
