Image
I never lost money by turning a profit.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.
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

Nobody ever lost money taking a profit
Bernard Baruch

Whatever you do, do it with all your heart and soul.

Everyone is entitled to be wrong about their opinions, but no one has the right to be wrong about their facts.
Bernard Baruch
Image
No man should think himself a zero, and think he can do nothing about the state of the world.
Bernard Baruch
Image
When beggars and shoeshine boys, barbers and beauticians can tell you how to get rich it is time to remind yourself that there is no more dangerous illusion than the belief that one can get something for nothing.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Bears don't live on Park Avenue.
Bernard Baruch
Image
No man can humiliate me or disturb me. I won't let him.
Bernard Baruch
Image
I am interested in physical medicine because my father was. I am interested in medical research because I believe in it. I am interested in arthritis because I have it.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.
Bernard Baruch
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
Always do one thing less than you think you can do.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Don't try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. It can't be done except by liars.
