Legendary investor Warren Buffett is known for the strong returns that Berkshire Hathaway BRKBRK stock has often outperformed broader stock indexes.
Buffett is also known for his sharp wit and quotable quotes that many in the investing community refer to on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Benzinga recently put some of Buffett’s best quotes to the test.
“Which quote from Warren Buffett resonates with you the most?” asked Benzinga.
Here are the results:
“Be afraid when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are afraid.”: 33% “The greatest investment you can make is in yourself.”: 28% “Rule No. 1: Money. Rule 2: Never forget. Rule number 1. ”: 24% “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago”: 12% “Cryptocurrency is probably the square of rat poison”: 3%
These winning words were uttered by Buffett during the 2008 financial crisis, when he shared in a New York Times op-ed that investors were buying U.S. stocks as stock prices fell dramatically.

While many Benzinga readers chose the quotes “Don’t be afraid” and “The best investments,” the No. 3 quote, “Rule No. 1,” is perhaps Buffett’s best-known quote.
When it comes to applying Buffett’s investing wisdom, there are probably no bad quotes except for that last one.
While many people are making profits and seeing long-term potential in the crypto sector, Buffett has not yet appeared and probably never will. Buffett likened Bitcoin BTC/USD to rat poison squared and said he would not buy all the Bitcoin in the world for $25.
Buffett’s strong investment returns and quotable quotes could make him the most legendary investor of 100 years, with the legendary investor receiving 61% of the votes in a recent Benzinga poll. This may be the reason why he was chosen as the highest ranking person. Buffett beat Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Cuban in the poll.
