Bernard Baruch
Image
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible.
Bernard Baruch
Image
America has never forgotten - and never will forget - the nobler things that brought her into being and that light her path...
Bernard Baruch
Image
All economic movements, by their very nature, are motivated by crowd psychology.
Bernard Baruch
Image
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

Although the shooting war is over, we are in the midst of a cold war which is getting warmer.
Bernard Baruch
Image
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

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

I get the facts, I study them patiently, I apply imagination.
Bernard Baruch

If you have made a mistake cut your losses as quickly as possible.
Bernard Baruch
Image
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
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
Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Everyone is entitled to be wrong about their opinions, but no one has the right to be wrong about their facts.
Bernard Baruch

Nobody ever lost money taking a profit
Bernard Baruch
Image
There are no such things as incurables. There are only things for which man has not found a cure.
Bernard Baruch
Image
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
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
I was the son of an immigrant. I experienced bigotry, intolerance and prejudice, even as so many of you have. Instead of allowing these thing to embitter me, I took them as spurs to more strenuous effort. .
