A trader does not squander his body as fodder or his soul as alms.

Whatever he was-that robot in the Garden of Eden, who existed without mind, without values, without labor, without love-he was not man.

As there can be no causeless wealth, so there can be no causeless love or any sort of causeless emotion.

I seek no values by means of evil, nor do I surrender my values to evil.

Man's mind is his basic tool of survival. Life is given to him, survival is not. His body is given to him, its sustenance is not. His mind is given to him, its content is not. To remain alive, he must act, and before he can act he must know the nature and purpose of his action...To remain alive, he must think.

Every form of causeless self-doubt, every feeling of inferiority and secret unworthiness is, in fact, man's hidden dread of his inability to deal with existence.

Government power is always abused by seizing and perverting the law. And with few exceptions, government always determines what is law.
