Text Quotes
Self-esteem is reliance on one’s power to think... The man of authentic self-confidence is the man who relies on the judgment of his own mind. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me (Ayn Rand Quotes)
It is the basic, metaphysical fact of man’s nature -- the connection between his survival and his use of reason -- that capitalism recognizes and protects. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
In order to deal with reality successfully - to pursue and achieve the values which his life requires - man needs self-esteem; he needs to be confident of his efficacy and worth. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
The most depraved type of human being ... (is) the man without a purpose. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
All that which is proper to the life of a rational being is the good; all that which destroys it is the evil. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Courage and confidence are practical necessities . . . courage is the practical form of being true to existence, of being true to truth, and confidence is the practical form of being true to one’s own consciousness. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Don’t think. Believe. Trust your heart, not your brain. Don’t think. Feel. Believe. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Don’t rely on our knowledge of what’s best for your future. We do know, but it can’t be best until you know it. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
It’s a rare gift, you know, to feel reverence for your own life and to want the best, the greatest, the highest possible, here, now, for your very own. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
I don’t like people who speak or think in terms of gaining anybody’s confidence. If one’s actions are honest, one does not need the predated confidence of others, only their rational perception. The person who craves a moral blank check of that kind, has dishonest intentions, whether he admits it to himself or not. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Do not set out to write with your eyes on the box office. It can’t be done. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Collectivism holds that the individual has no rights, that his life and work belong to the group (to society, to the tribe, the state, the nation) and that the group may sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests. The only way to implement a doctrine of that kind is by means of brute force - and statism has always been the poltical corollary of collectivism. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Government ‘help’ to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
As we gain knowledge, we do not become more certain, we become certain of more (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Collectivism means the subjugation of the individual to a group - whether to a race, class or state does not matter. Collectivism holds that man must be chained to collective action and collective thought for the sake of what is called ‘the common good’ (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Capitalism is based on individual rights - not on the sacrifice of the individual to the ‘public good’ of the collective. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
America’s abundance was not created by public sacrifices to the common good, but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Inflation is not caused by the actions of private citizens, but by the government: by an artificial expansion of the money supply required to support deficit spending. No private embezzlers or bank robbers in history have ever plundered people’s savings on a scale comparable to the plunder perpetrated by the fiscal policies of statist governments. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
What is man? He’s just a collection of chemicals with delusions of grandeur. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
You don’t love causes. You don’t love everybody indiscriminately. You love only those who deserve it. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Do not ever say that the desire to ‘do good’ by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Love, friendship, respect, admiration are the emotional response of one man to the virtues of another, the spiritual payment given in exchange for the personal, selfish pleasure which one man derives from the virtues of another man’s character. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
In this world, either you’re virtuous or you enjoy yourself. Not both, lady, not both. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Live and act within the limit of your knowledge and keep expanding it to the limit of your life (Ayn Rand Quotes)
The only thing that counts in life is solid, material assets. It’s no time for theories when everything is falling to pieces around us. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
As long as men are free to speak, a small, rational minority will always prevail over an irrational majority. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
It’s true that there’s no such thing as free will. We can’t help what we are or what we do. It’s not our fault. Nobody’s to blame for anything. It’s all in your background ... and your glands. If you’re good, that’s no achievement of yours - you were lucky in your glands. If you’re rotten, nobody should punish you - you were unlucky, that’s all. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Remember that rights are moral principles which define and protect a man’s freedom of action, but impose no obligations on other men. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
A society that robs an individual of the product of his effort ... is not strictly speaking a society, but a mob held together by institutionalized gang violence. (Ayn Rand Quotes)
