Bernard Baruch quotes about
bridges economy crosses
We can't cross that bridge until we come to it, but I always like to lay down a pontoon ahead of time.
cutting loss yield
If a speculator is correct half of the time, he is hitting a good average. Even being right 3 or 4 times out of 10 should yield a person a fortune if he has the sense to cut his losses quickly on the ventures where he is wrong.
struggle government political
You can talk about capitalism and communism and all that sort of thing, but the important thing is the struggle everybody is engaged in to get better living conditions, and they are not interested too much in government.
anger men humiliate
No man can humiliate me or disturb me. I won't let him.

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.

I get the facts, I study them patiently, I apply imagination.
lying taught-us evil
Science has taught us how to put the atom to work. But to make it work for good instead of for evil lies in the domain dealing with the principles of human duty. We are now facing a problem more of ethics than physics.

lying hate men
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.
war shooting cold
Although the shooting war is over, we are in the midst of a cold war which is getting warmer.
loss men yield
Society can progress if men's labors show a profit - if they yield more than is put in. To produce at a loss must leave less for all to share.
moving giving top-10
I'll give you the bottom 10% and the top 10% of any move if I get to keep the middle 80%.
america light path
America has never forgotten - and never will forget - the nobler things that brought her into being and that light her path.
