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

Bernard Baruch
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.

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
I get the facts, I study them patiently, I apply imagination.
Bernard Baruch
Bears don't live on Park Avenue.
Bernard Baruch
Everyone is entitled to be wrong about their opinions, but no one has the right to be wrong about their facts.
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
No man can humiliate me or disturb me. I won't let him.
Bernard Baruch
Our problem in money-making or government affairs is how to remain properly venturesome and experimental without making fools of ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
