More quotes by 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
We did not all come over on the same ship, but we are all in the same boat.
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
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
Nobody ever lost money taking a profit
Bernard Baruch
If you have made a mistake cut your losses as quickly as possible.
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
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
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than in growing with them.
Bernard Baruch
There is something about inside information which seems to paralyze a man's reasoning powers.
Bernard Baruch
To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.
Bernard Baruch
Whatever you do, do it with all your heart and soul.
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
I get the facts, I study them patiently, I apply imagination.
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
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
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
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
When good news about the market hits the front page of the New York Times, sell.
