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.

Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.
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
I get the facts, I study them patiently, I apply imagination.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Information cannot serve as an effective substitute for thinking.
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
No man can humiliate me or disturb me. I won't let him.
Bernard Baruch
