More quotes by Bernard Baruch
Although the shooting war is over, we are in the midst of a cold war which is getting warmer.
Bernard Baruch
Making a success of the job at hand is the best step toward the kind you want.
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
Nobody ever lost money taking a profit
Bernard Baruch
Our problem in money-making or government affairs is how to remain properly venturesome and experimental without making fools of ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
There are no such things as incurables. There are only things for which man has not found a cure.
Bernard Baruch
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.
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
One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything everynight before you go to bed.
Bernard Baruch
Never pay the slightest attention to what a company president ever says about his stock.
Bernard Baruch
A man can't retire his experience.
Bernard Baruch
Whatever you do, do it with all your heart and soul.
Bernard Baruch
Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.
Bernard Baruch
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Bernard Baruch
Vote for the man who promises least he'll be the least disappointing.
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.
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
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
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
I get the facts, I study them patiently, I apply imagination.
Bernard Baruch
