Successful Investing takes time, discipline and patience. No matter how great the talent or effort, some things just take time: You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.

The best thing that happens to us is when a great company gets into temporary trouble...We want to buy them when they're on the operating table.

Success in investing doesn't correlate with I.Q. Once you are above the level of 25; once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing.

Cash combined with courage in a time of crisis is priceless.

As an investor with small capital, one should prefer businesses that have high returns on capital and that require little incremental investment to grow.
