Image
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Information cannot serve as an effective substitute for thinking.
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
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
Image
A speculator is a man who observes the future, and acts before it occurs.
Bernard Baruch
Image
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
Image
I get the facts, I study them patiently, I apply imagination.
Bernard Baruch

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
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible.
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

The stock market is people.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.
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
Vote for the man who promises least he'll be the least disappointing.
Bernard Baruch
Image
It is far more difficult... to know when to sell a stock than when to buy.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Making a success of the job at hand is the best step toward the kind you want.
Bernard Baruch
Image
If you have made a mistake cut your losses as quickly as possible.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Never pay the slightest attention to what a company president ever says about his stock.
Bernard Baruch
Image
The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than in growing with them.
Bernard Baruch
Image
We did not all come over on the same ship, but we are all in the same boat.
Bernard Baruch
