Im not like a hardcore WEB fan but I think along the same lines, he had a much shorter and (I feel) more apt quote which is:

" Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre one".

and a lengthier but funnier version (On BRK):

Buying the stock at that price was like picking up a discarded cigar butt that had one puff remaining in it. Though the stub might be ugly and soggy, the puff would be free. Once that momentary pleasure was enjoyed, however, no more could be expected.

I think he forgot to mention, also the extra huge effort to flip trashcans to find them, and smoking butts only to realize its too wet to be smoked or had nothing left... lol
