Bernard Baruch

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
Our problem in money-making or government affairs is how to remain properly venturesome and experimental without making fools of ourselves.
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
