Image
Even when we know what is right, too often we fail to act. More often we grab greedily for the day, letting tomorrow bring what it will, putting off the unpleasant and unpopular.
Bernard Baruch
Image
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
Image
I get the facts, I study them patiently, I apply imagination.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Making a success of the job at hand is the best step toward the kind you want.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Whatever you do, do it with all your heart and soul.
Bernard Baruch
Image
The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom. But in the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
Image
We did not all come over on the same ship, but we are all in the same boat.
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

A man can't retire his experience.
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.

The stock market is people.
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
Agriculture is the greatest and fundamentally the most important of our industries. The cities are but the branches of the tree of national life, the roots of which go deeply into the land. We all flourish or decline with the farmer.
Bernard Baruch
Image
You can't repeal human nature by an Act of Congress.
Bernard Baruch
Image
There is something about inside information which seems to paralyze a man's reasoning powers.
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
All economic movements, by their very nature, are motivated by crowd psychology.
Bernard Baruch
Image
The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than in growing with them.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Never play tips from insiders. They can't see the forest for the trees.
Bernard Baruch

Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.
