Bernard Baruch quotes about
player doors luck
Chance sometimes opens the door, but luck belongs to the good players.

Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.

Information cannot serve as an effective substitute for thinking.

business government fool
Our problem in money-making or government affairs is how to remain properly venturesome and experimental without making fools of ourselves.

men two investing
Whatever men attempt, they seem driven to overdo. When hopes are soaring, I always repeat to myself that two and two still make four.
peace past years
If the history of the past fifty years teaches us anything, it is that peace does not follow disarmament - disarmament follows peace.

We are here today to make a choice between the quick and the dead.
investing hardest-times hardest
Now is always the hardest time to invest.

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

Be quick to praise people. People like to praise those who praise them.
humble way
Become more humble as the market goes your way.
