More quotes by Bernard Baruch
It is far more difficult... to know when to sell a stock than when to buy.
Bernard Baruch
All economic movements, by their very nature, are motivated by crowd psychology.
Bernard Baruch
No man should think himself a zero, and think he can do nothing about the state of the world.
Bernard Baruch
Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.
Bernard Baruch
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
When beggars and shoeshine boys, barbers and beauticians can tell you how to get rich it is time to remind yourself that there is no more dangerous illusion than the belief that one can get something for nothing.
Bernard Baruch
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. .
Bernard Baruch
Making a success of the job at hand is the best step toward the kind you want.
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.
Bernard Baruch
I get the facts, I study them patiently, I apply imagination.
Bernard Baruch
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
The essence of any plan for financing old age is saving-to put aside some part of today's earnings for the future. Anything that saps the value of savings-and inflation is the worst single threat-is the enemy of the aged and of those who expect to grow old.
Bernard Baruch
America has never forgotten - and never will forget - the nobler things that brought her into being and that light her path...
Bernard Baruch
A speculator is a man who observes the future, and acts before it occurs.
Bernard Baruch
Most of the successful people I've known are the ones who do more listening than talking.
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
Although the shooting war is over, we are in the midst of a cold war which is getting warmer.
Bernard Baruch
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
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
Everyone is entitled to be wrong about their opinions, but no one has the right to be wrong about their facts.
Bernard Baruch
