“My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose.”

Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them.

Reality is an absolute, existence is an absolute, a speck of dust is an absolute and so is a human life.

If you don’t know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.

I don’t wish to be the symbol of anything. I’m only myself.

To deal with men by force is as impractical as to deal with nature by persuasion.

Do not keep silent when your own ideas and values are being attacked.

Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.

Force and mind are opposites; morality ends where a gun begins.

Let me give you a tip on a clue to men’s characters: the man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it.

Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper’s bell of an approaching looter.

Identify the dominant philosophy of a society and you can predict its future.

If the truth shall kill them, let them die.

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.

Don’t ever get angry at a man for stating the truth.

Politically, the goal of today’s dominant trend is statism. Philosophically, the goal is the obliteration of reason; psychologically, it is the erosion of ambition.

If it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing.

My secrets must be poetic to be believable.

I will heal and Oh what a day that will be.

The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it.

I’m going to give away a lot more than half my money. I’d be happy to give that to the government if the government put together programs that were like I’m giving away to charity, in which I believe the money is effectively used to help people.

Believe in your dreams and dream big. And then after you’ve done that, dream bigger.

If people say you shouldn’t pursue business around your passion they are haters. Don’t believe them.

When you affirm big, believe big and pray big, big things happen.

At its core, I believe leadership is about instilling confidence in others.
