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
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.

The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom. But in the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.
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.

The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible.
