By Ayn Rand
I can either be the fire that lights your way or the fire that destroys everything in my way. You decide.
The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.
Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision.
Young men, hear an old man to whom old men hearkened when he was young.
I am a man of my word.
It’s dark in the middle of the day, the sun is defeated by its shadow, squeeze the oil from your soul, and light the wick, Come let’s light a lamp again!
Men need some kind of external activity, because they are inactive within.
Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies.
I believe that when death closes our eyes we shall awaken to a light, of which our sunlight is but the shadow.
Every light can be extinguished. The intellect is a light. Therefore it can be extinguished.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Extremes in nature equal ends produce; In man they join to some mysterious use.
Men would be angels, angels would be gods.
Man is a goal-seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals.
Men create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life.
Man is by nature a political animal.
Man is an animal which, alone among the animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfillment of animal desires.
The Strong Man is Mightiest Alone.
A man without a mustache is like a cup of tea without sugar.
