Quote for the Week

 

“There’s just a few simple tricks that work well, and particularly if you’ve got a temperament that has a combination of patience and opportunism in it. And I think that’s largely inherited, although I suppose it can be learned to some extent. Then I think there’s another factor that accounts for the fact that Berkshire has done as well as it has, is that we’re really trying to behave well. And I had a great-grandfather. When he died, the preacher gave the talk, and he said none envied this man’s success, so fairly won and wisely used. That’s a very simple idea, but it’s exactly what Berkshire’s trying to do…. We want to have people think of us as having won fairly and used wisely.” —Charlie Munger
