Quote by Bernard Baruch

Bears don't live on Park Avenue.

Bears don't live on Park Avenue.

Summary

This quote suggests that one should not expect to find certain things or people in places where they are unlikely to exist or belong. It implies that certain environments have their own distinctive nature and characteristics, and it would be unrealistic or unreasonable to anticipate something that is out of place. By using bears, which are typically found in natural habitats, and Park Avenue, a prestigious urban street, the quote conveys the idea that some things simply do not belong together due to their inherent differences in nature or context.

Southern political personalities, like sweet corn, travel badly. They lose flavor with every hundred yards away from the patch.

Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins.
