Ayn RandIt is morally obscene to regard wealth as an anonymous, tribal product and to talk about 'redistributing' it.
Ayn RandWhen I disagree with a rational man, I let reality be our final arbiter; if I am right, he will learn; if I am wrong, I will; one of us will win, but both will profit.
Ayn RandIn the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that manโs proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads.
