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

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
Never follow the crowd.
Bernard Baruch
We are living in a highly organized state of socialism. The state is all the individual is of importance only as he contributes to the welfare of the state. His property is only his as the state does not need it. He must hold his life and his possessions at the call of the state.
Bernard Baruch
Now is always the hardest time to invest.
Bernard Baruch
Vote for the man who promises least he'll be the least disappointing.
Bernard Baruch
Most of the successful people I've known are the ones who do more listening than talking.
Bernard Baruch
Bears don't live on Park Avenue.
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
There are no such things as incurables. There are only things for which man has not found a cure.
Bernard Baruch
