Warren Buffett Quotes

We all say in our own lives that money isn't everything. Love matters, friendships matter. My relationship with my kids matters. It shouldn't be a giant leap to take that thought and introduce it into political dialogue

For no matter what we achieve, if we don't spend the vast majority of our time with people we love and respect, we cannot possibly have a great life.

The people we interviewed from the good-to-great companies clearly loved what they did, largely because they loved who they did it with.

They know where happiness lies, not in a cave or a country, but in love and the freedom to give and take what has been there all along.

While falling in love is fun, it's not everything, and it's not the antidote to an unfulfilled life, despite what Reese Witherspoon movies may tell you.

Money to some extent sometimes let you be in more interesting environments. But it can't change how many people love you or how healthy you are.

Basically, when you get to my age, you'll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.

Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.

I feel like I've had so many successes on so many levels, even if it is just my relationships with my friends.

All our failures are ultimately failures in love.

The reason for living is to have great relationships, to have people you love and respect and who love and respect you.

Happiness is not based on possessions, power or prestige, but on relationships with people you love and respect.

As I get older, personal happiness is all about love. It's all about love.

Every aspect of your life, whether it's a task or relationship, personal or professional, will be based on love and joy. And when you get right down to it, nothing else really matters.

To know you are among people whom you love, and who love you – that has made all the successes wonderful, much more wonderful than they'd have been anyway.

Love gives life purpose and meaning.

Happiness, for me, is a function of the number of people I love, and I think joy and happiness is directly related to how many people are in our lives and how deeply we are bonded with those people. And so I'm happy if I'm with Ann; I'm happier if I'm also with my family and my grandchildren.

The times in my life when I have been most happy haven't been the times when I have had the most money or the most freedom or the most anything, but rather when I've been in love or in community or right with people.

Success, wealth, good health and nurturing relationships are by-products of happiness, not the cause.

It is only a slight exaggeration to say that happiness is the experience of spending time with people you love and who love you.

What matters is the value we’ve created in our lives, the people we’ve made happy and how much we’ve grown as people.

We are who we are, be­cause of those we choose to love and be­cause of those who love us.

Stick with the people who love you and don’t spend a single second on the rest. Life will be better that way.
