You’ll get everything society can give a man. You’ll keep all the money. You’ll take any fame or honor anyone might want to grant. You’ll accept such gratitude as the tenants might feel. And I - I’ll take what nobody can give a man, except himself. I will have built Cortlandt. - Howard Roark (Ayn Rand Quotes)
The man without a purpose is a man who drifts at the mercy of random feelings or unidentified urges and is capable of any evil, because he is totally out of control of his own life. In order to be in control of your life, you have to have a purpose-a productive purpose (Ayn Rand Quotes)

The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Every man is free to rise as far as he's able or willing, but the degree to which he thinks determines the degree to which he'll rise (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men (Ayn Rand Quotes)
Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice (Ayn Rand Quotes)
