在商业世界里，我最惊讶的发现，是一种我称之为'机构惯性'的超级力量——它驱使管理层去模仿同行的行为，不管多么愚蠢。在抗拒机构惯性时，我的失败率比在收购好公司时还高。

My most surprising discovery: the overwhelming importance in business of an unseen force that we might call 'the institutional imperative.' In business, the institutional imperative drives managers to mindlessly imitate the behavior of their peers, no matter how foolish it may be. I have been more wrong about resisting the institutional imperative than I have been about buying good businesses.

我对快速赚钱没兴趣，我关心的是随时间安全地赚。

I am not interested in making money quickly. I am interested in making it safely over time.

风险来自你不知道自己正在做什么。

Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.

投资中最危险的一句话就是'这次不一样'——这四个字摧毁的财富比任何市场崩盘都多。

The most dangerous words in investing are 'this time is different.' These four words have destroyed more wealth than any market crash.
