Famous Quotes & Sayings

Ayn Rand

There must be only three supreme values which govern a person's life: Reason, Purpose, and Self-esteem.

These three values imply and require all of man's virtues, and all his virtues pertain to the relation of existence and consciousness: rationality, independence, integrity, honesty, justice, productiveness, pride.
