Bernard Baruch
Image
The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom. But in the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
Image
It is far more difficult... to know when to sell a stock than when to buy.
Bernard Baruch
Image
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

Bernard Baruch
Image
Always do one thing less than you think you can do.
Bernard Baruch

You don't have to blow out the other person's light to let your own shine.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.
Bernard Baruch

I never lost money by turning a profit.
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
Information cannot serve as an effective substitute for thinking.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.
Bernard Baruch
Image
No man can humiliate me or disturb me. I won't let him.
Bernard Baruch

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.
