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
We can't cross that bridge until we come to it, but I always like to lay down a pontoon ahead of time.
Bernard Baruch
You don't have to blow out the other person's light to let your own shine.
Bernard Baruch
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
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
