The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible.
Bernard Baruch
Image
A political leader must keep looking over his shoulder all the time to see if the boys are still there. If they arent still there, hes no longer a political leader.
Bernard Baruch
Image
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
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

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
Image
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.

Bernard Baruch
Image
America has never forgotten - and never will forget - the nobler things that brought her into being and that light her path...
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
Our problem in money-making or government affairs is how to remain properly venturesome and experimental without making fools of ourselves.
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
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.

I never lost money by turning a profit.

Whatever you do, do it with all your heart and soul.

If you have made a mistake cut your losses as quickly as possible.
