I've found this particularly meaningful quote by Warren Buffett in his last letter to shareholders in November 2025. In it, he also said: “Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money, great amounts of publicity or great power in government. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world.” He is a humble man at 95 years of age, yet one of the wealthiest persons on earth. This legendary old man has pledged to give away 99 percent of his fortune to philanthropic causes.
Nothing beats the peacefulness and beauty of nature at sunrise.

Warren Edward Buffett, aka Warren Buffett, is a successful investor and chairman, CEO and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway. He is one of the wealthiest people on earth. His nicknames include: "Wizard of Omaha", "Oracle of Omaha", or the "Sage of Omaha".
The source image for this caricature of Warren Buffett is a photo in the public domain from the White House website.
He is really a nice man, just like your grand father. Even though he is so rich, no credit card, no driver, no body guards and very friendly to we students.
A few weeks ago we were crossing some railroad tracks and I happened to look down . . . seeing a tarnished pink pacifier and a stained cigarette butt made me laugh!
I began to think of addictions and habits and thought both images were perfect metaphors for things we stick in our mouths to help pacify the moment!
Anyway, in keeping with my passion for journaling, I couldn't resist the following quotations:
“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.” ~ Oscar Wilde ~
“Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.”
~ Warren Buffett ~
“A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it the superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.” ~ Thomas Paine ~
“Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.” ~ Publius Cornelius Tacitus ~
IS THIS A SCENE OF BUSINESS OR ART?
"The airline industry - an unattractive investment"
This photo depicts Pan Am planes involved in what appears to be a going concern, but the airline industry- throughout its history- has always lost money.
Pan Am doesn't even exist any more. *
In a 2002 interview, Warren Buffett famously said, in reply to the question 'Do you still regard USAir as your worst investment?'
"I made the comment that if a capitalist had been present at Kittyhawk back in the early 1900s, he should have shot Orville Wright. He would have saved his progeny money.
But seriously, the airline business has been extraordinary. It has eaten up capital over the past century like almost no other business because people seem to keep coming back to it and putting fresh money in.
You've got huge fixed costs, you've got strong labor unions and you've got commodity pricing. That is not a great recipe for success.
I have an 800 number now that I call if I get the urge to buy an airline stock. I call at two in the morning and I say: "My name is Warren and I'm an aeroholic." And then they talk me down."
I like this. It makes the whole deal look like an art piece. We wanted airplanes, so we just had airplanes. The fact that it was not a real business didn't matter to us.
Are we sorry? I don't think so. It was a glorious adventure, done for its own sake.

* - According to "2001: A Space Odyssey", it was Pan Am that was going to make regular commercial flights to the moon, but the company didn't make it to the millennium :
Many of you have most likely already seen this picture (its been going around facebook). This 16 year old boy spotted Warren Buffett and Paul McCartney sitting together on a bench conversing (apparently they had just had supper in a nearby restaurant) . He took this "selfie". I am sharing this picture because I love the expression of pure joy on his face! It is also nice to see two celebrities relaxing. It is probably a rare moment for both of them.
