interview with Warren Buffet tonight on BBC2 9pm - as well as being one of the richest people on the planet he's also a great philanthropist with very refreshing views on tax and social responsibility.
he's always come out with brilliant quotes like:
"I try to buy stock in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will."
"I like to go for cinches. I like to shoot fish in a barrel. But I like to do it after the water has run out."
"If you're in the luckiest 1 per cent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 per cent."
"There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't."
very interesting person
