Quotes 

• Susan Buffett : I was talking to him one day about some racial issue, and he said to me, "wait till women discover they're the slaves of the world." Now how many men were cognizant of that, and even women then?

• Susan Buffett : There are two rules of investing according to Warren, and he learned this from Ben Graham.

  Warren Buffett : Rule number one, never lose money. Rule number two, never forget rule number one.

• Susan Buffett : To me the crux of it is, that it wasn't the money itself. You can see that in the way he lives. I mean, he doesn't buy huge paintings or build big houses or anything like that. It's all mental with him, and the money is his scorecard. And he used to say to me, "Everybody can read what I read. It's a level playing field." And he loves that, because he's competitive. And he's sitting there all by himself in his office, reading these things that everybody else can read, but he loves the idea that he's gonna win. Ha!

• Susan Buffett : Whoever you are in this life, you don't want to think you wasted a lot of your energy, love, and time on something useless. I always thought I'd marry a minister, a doctor, or somebody out doing some valuable service to human beings. And the fact that I married somebody who makes just piles of money is really the antithesis of what I ever thought, but I know what he is, and... he is... There's no finer human being than who he is.
