Best Warren Buffett quotes (to me at least!)

I found out of the 52 must read quotes from Warren Buffett, these resonate the most with me.

"I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over."

"If you’re in the luckiest 1 per cent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 per cent."

"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently."

"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."

"Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars."

"Wall Street is the only place that people ride to work in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway."
