Capitalism has created the highest standard of living ever known on earth. The evidence is incontrovertible. The contrast between West and East Berlin is the latest demonstration, like a laboratory experiment for all to see. Yet those who are loudest in proclaiming their desire to eliminate poverty are loudest in denouncing capitalism. Man's well-being is not their goal.

Don't consider our interests or desires. You have no duty to anyone but yourself.

I'm not brave enough to be a coward; I see the consequences too clearly.

There is only one source of authentic self-confidence: reason.

A moment or an eternity—did it matter? Life, undefeated, existed and could exist.

I think, therefore I'll think.

Whatever road I take, the guiding star is within me; the guiding star and the loadstone which point the way. They point in but one direction. They point to me.
