Image
Everyone is entitled to be wrong about their opinions, but no one has the right to be wrong about their facts.
Bernard Baruch
Image
The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than in growing with them.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Behind the black portent of the new atomic age lies a hope which, seized upon with faith, can work out salvation... Let us not deceive ourselves: we must elect world peace or world destruction.
Bernard Baruch
Image
The essence of any plan for financing old age is saving-to put aside some part of today's earnings for the future. Anything that saps the value of savings-and inflation is the worst single threat-is the enemy of the aged and of those who expect to grow old.
Bernard Baruch

Nobody ever lost money taking a profit
Bernard Baruch

Vote for the man who promises least he'll be the least disappointing.
Bernard Baruch
Image
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
Image
A dangerous fallacy is to repudiate freedom in favor of an unknown future. What else but our own sturdy reliance on freedom can explain the unexampled record this country has made? In a period scarcely twice my own lifetime it has risen from nothingness to become the world's greatest power. It has become the ark of the covenant of freedom.
Bernard Baruch
Image
No man can humiliate me or disturb me. I won't let him.
Bernard Baruch
Image
If you have made a mistake cut your losses as quickly as possible.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Always do one thing less than you think you can do.
Bernard Baruch
Image
We can't cross that bridge until we come to it, but I always like to lay down a pontoon ahead of time.
Bernard Baruch
Image
We did not all come over on the same ship, but we are all in the same boat.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Never play tips from insiders. They can't see the forest for the trees.
Bernard Baruch
Image
It is far more difficult... to know when to sell a stock than when to buy.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Never follow the crowd.
Bernard Baruch
Image
One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything everynight before you go to bed.
Bernard Baruch
Image
All economic movements, by their very nature, are motivated by crowd psychology.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Our problem in money-making or government affairs is how to remain properly venturesome and experimental without making fools of ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
Image
We are living in a highly organized state of socialism. The state is all the individual is of importance only as he contributes to the welfare of the state. His property is only his as the state does not need it. He must hold his life and his possessions at the call of the state.
Bernard Baruch
