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

You don't have to blow out the other person's light to let your own shine.
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
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.
