I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business. I do it because I like this kind of life. Warren Buffett
About This Quote

The world is anxious for the next big idea. And many people spend their lives looking for that idea without any results. But there are those who are content with what they have, are happy with what they are, are able to keep themselves to themselves, and are happy with the life they lead. They do not want to be famous or make a lot of money.

They do not want people to think of them as exotic creatures. They simply want peace of mind and the joy of being themselves.
