“The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.”

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.

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.
