More quotes by Bernard Baruch
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
Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.
Bernard Baruch
Information cannot serve as an effective substitute for thinking.
Bernard Baruch
One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything everynight before you go to bed.
Bernard Baruch
Learn to take losses quickly and cleanly. There is something about inside information which seems to paralyze a man's reasoning powers. Beware of barbers, beauticians, waiters - or anyone - bringing gifts of 'inside' information or tips. Don't try to be a jack of all investment. Stick to the field you know best.
Bernard Baruch
Making a success of the job at hand is the best step toward the kind you want.
Bernard Baruch
The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than in growing with them.
Bernard Baruch
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
Never play tips from insiders. They can't see the forest for the trees.
Bernard Baruch
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible.
Bernard Baruch
The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom. But in the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
A political leader must keep looking over his shoulder all the time to see if the boys are still there. If they arent still there, hes no longer a political leader.
Bernard Baruch
To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.
Bernard Baruch
We did not all come over on the same ship, but we are all in the same boat.
Bernard Baruch
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
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
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
A speculator is a man who observes the future, and acts before it occurs.
Bernard Baruch
Although the shooting war is over, we are in the midst of a cold war which is getting warmer.
Bernard Baruch
Always do one thing less than you think you can do.
Bernard Baruch
