Bernard Baruch on age

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Although the shooting war is over, we are in the midst of a cold war which is getting warmer.

Behind the black portent of the new atomic age lies a hope which, seized upon with faith, can work our salvation … Let us not deceive ourselves: we must elect world peace or world destruction.

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
