More quotes by 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
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
I get the facts, I study them patiently, I apply imagination.
Bernard Baruch
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Bernard Baruch
Bears don't live on Park Avenue.
Bernard Baruch
The stock market is people.
Bernard Baruch
To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.
Bernard Baruch
Most of the successful people I've known are the ones who do more listening than talking.
Bernard Baruch
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
No man should think himself a zero, and think he can do nothing about the state of the world.
Bernard Baruch
We did not all come over on the same ship, but we are all in the same boat.
Bernard Baruch
Never play tips from insiders. They can't see the forest for the trees.
Bernard Baruch
The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom. But in the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.
Bernard Baruch
When good news about the market hits the front page of the New York Times, sell.
Bernard Baruch
Whatever you do, do it with all your heart and soul.
Bernard Baruch
It is far more difficult... to know when to sell a stock than when to buy.
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
Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.
Bernard Baruch
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
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.
