Warren Buffett Discusses Greece and Its Credit Problems
“If you’re some South American country, you can’t print dollars. Greece — they are a sovereign country in terms of their budget but they can’t print their own currency. They’ve got the Euro. You may be seeing sort of a test case play out here of a country that’s not using its own currency — in effect it’s using a common currency — yet it’s sovereign in making its own promises to its citizens.
“This will be high drama in my view. I don’t know how this movie ends. I try not to go to movies like that if I can.”

How simple a thing is happiness: A glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. All that is required to feel that here and now is happiness is a simple heart.
