In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world
to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep
you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly,
the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his
title.Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is
an upright posture,an intransigent mind and a step that
travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by
irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate,
the not-quite, the not-yet,the not-at-all. Do not let the hero
in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you
deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road
and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won,
it exists,it is real, it is possible, it's yours.
Ayn Rand
Some people discard Rand's whole philosophy in life. I chose not to do that since every person has something to teach me. Great quote from her. She was amazing. Thanks again.
