By Ayn Rand
The sun may light up the earth but my life is lit up by friends like you. Good morning.
Good morning my love! Being with you feels as if we are living in a paradise on earth.
As the earth revolves around the sun, my day revolves around loving you. Good Morning Dear…
The poetry of earth is never dead.
Rights are not a matter of numbers – and there can be no such thing, in law or in morality, as actions forbidden to an individual, but permitted to a mob.
Just as man can’t exist without his body, so no rights can exist without the right to translate one’s rights into reality, to think, to work and keep the results, which means: the right of property.
A government is the most dangerous threat to man’s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.
Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves – or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.
Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law.
India has a legitimate right to becoming a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council.
We should always care for the minorities and be attentive towards their welfare.
Men are the devils of the earth, and the animals are the tormented souls.
Marrying means to halve one’s rights and double one’s duties.
In our monogamous part of the world, to marry means to halve one’s rights and double one’s duties.
As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending.
The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer… form the great body of the people of the United States, they are the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.
Nullification means insurrection and war; and the other states have a right to put it down.
The great constitutional corrective in the hands of the people against usurpation of power, or corruption by their agents is the right of suffrage; and this when used with calmness and deliberation will prove strong enough.
I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office.
All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a mere bubble, except guaranteed to them by an independent and virtuous Judiciary.
