The stock market is people.
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
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
To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.
Bernard Baruch
No man should think himself a zero, and think he can do nothing about the state of the world.
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
Don't try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. It can't be done except by liars.
