A trader is a man who earns what he gets and does not give or take the undeserved.

Man's mind is his basic tool of survival. Life is given to him, survival is not.

Man has been called a rational being, but rationality is a matter of choice-and the alternative his nature offers him is: rational being or suicidal animal. Man has to be man-by choice; he has to hold his life as a value-by choice; he has to learn to sustain it-by choice; he has to discover the values it requires and practice his virtues-by choice. A code of values accepted by choice is a code of morality.

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

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

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.

The choice--the dedication to one's highest potential--is made by accepting the fact that the noblest act you have ever performed is the act of your mind in the process of grasping that two and two make four.
