Freedom comes from seeing the ignorance of your critics and discovering the emptiness of their virtue.
Ayn RandFrancisco could do anything he undertook, he could do it better than anyone else, and he did it without effort. There was no boasting in his manner and consciousness, no thought of comparison. His attitude was not: 'I can do it better than you,' but simply: 'I can do it.' What he meant by doing was doing superlatively.
