Although the shooting war is over, we are in the midst of a cold war which is getting warmer.
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
Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.

A man can't retire his experience.
Bernard Baruch

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
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
Vote for the man who promises least he'll be the least disappointing.

I never lost money by turning a profit.
Bernard Baruch

Never play tips from insiders. They can't see the forest for the trees.

Nobody ever lost money taking a profit

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.
