Bernard Baruch
Image
Never pay the slightest attention to what a company president ever says about his stock.
Bernard Baruch
Image
So efficient are the available instruments of slavery fingerprints, lie detectors, brain washings, gas chambers that we shiver at the thought of political change which might put these instruments in the hands of men of hate.
Bernard Baruch
Image
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible.
Bernard Baruch

Most of the successful people I've known are the ones who do more listening than talking.
Bernard Baruch
Image
It is far more difficult... to know when to sell a stock than when to buy.
