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
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.
Bernard Baruch

Don't try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. It can't be done except by liars.
Bernard Baruch
Image
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.

Only as you do know yourself can your brain serve you as a sharp and efficient tool. Know your own failings, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Whatever you do, do it with all your heart and soul.
Bernard Baruch
Image
We did not all come over on the same ship, but we are all in the same boat.
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
Vote for the man who promises least he'll be the least disappointing.
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
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible.
Bernard Baruch
Image
If you have made a mistake cut your losses as quickly as possible.

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