If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject.

Do not consider Collectivists as "sincere but deluded idealists". The proposal to enslave some men for the sake of others is not an ideal; brutality is not "idealistic," no matter what its purpose. Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives.

Do it first and feel about it afterwards.' - Dagny Taggart

If one doesn't respect oneself one can have neither love nor respect for others.

The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man's self-defense, and, as such, may only resort to force only against those who start the use of force.

Do not open your mouth to tell me that your mind has convinced you of your right to force my mind. Force and mind are opposites. Morality ends where a gun begins.

The word which can never die on this earth, for it is the heart of it and the meaning and the glory. The sacred word: EGO.
