To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Information cannot serve as an effective substitute for thinking.
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
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
Image
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

The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible.
Bernard Baruch
Image

Bernard Baruch
Image
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
Image
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
Image
One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything everynight before you go to bed.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Our problem in money-making or government affairs is how to remain properly venturesome and experimental without making fools of ourselves.
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
Image
Vote for the man who promises least he'll be the least disappointing.
Bernard Baruch
Image
A speculator is a man who observes the future, and acts before it occurs.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.
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.
Bernard Baruch
Image
No man should think himself a zero, and think he can do nothing about the state of the world.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Everyone is entitled to be wrong about their opinions, but no one has the right to be wrong about their facts.
Bernard Baruch
Image
A man can't retire his experience.
