Ayn Rand

"Love is the expression of one's values, the greatest reward you can earn for the moral qualities you have achieved in your character and person, the emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues of another." Ayn Rand

"Don't ever give up what you want in life. The struggle is worth it." Ayn Rand

"Money is the barometer of a society's virtue." Ayn Rand

"Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started." Ayn Rand

"You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality." Ayn Rand

"Upper classes are a nation's past; the middle class is its future." Ayn Rand

"Evil requires the sanction of the victim." Ayn Rand

"Neither life nor happiness can be achieved by the pursuit of irrational whims. Just as man is free to attempt to survive by any random means, as a parasite, a moocher or a looter, but not free to succeed at it beyond the range of the moment—so he is free to seek his happiness in any irrational fraud, any whim, any delusion, any mindless escape from reality, but not free to succeed at it beyond the range of the moment nor to escape the consequences." Ayn Rand

"He is free to evade reality, he is free to unfocus his mind and stumble blindly down any road he pleases, but not free to avoid the abyss he refuses to see." Ayn Rand

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." Ayn Rand

"Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness." Ayn Rand

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours." Ayn Rand

"Any alleged 'right' of one man, which necessitates the violation of the rights of another, is not and cannot be a right." Ayn Rand

"We are born into this world unarmed - our mind is our only weapon." Ayn Rand
