Buffett quotes from his books?!?

Post by honeysucklevine »

Ok, so for my college writing class we had to choose our favorite author, of course I chose JB. We have to tell background information about the author and bring a short writing sample or quote from one of their writings. What are some of your favorites that I might use for my class? :D :D

Pirate Looks at 50

Post by krusin1 »

If you're still looking for JB quotes from books...

Try the 400 word essay near the beginning of "A Pirate Looks at Fifty."

Informative, direct, descriptive, and no run-on sentences. I'm envisioning the prof reading that one right now.... :pirate:
