The challenge for people today--and it is not and easy one--is to maintain high personal standards even while feeling that one is living in a moral sewer. (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
The reputation you have with yourself - your self-esteem - is the single most important factor for a fulfilling life. (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
Self esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
The United States was the first country in the history of the world to be consciously created out of an idea - and the idea was liberty. (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
One of the characteristics of love relationships that flower is a relatively high degree of mutual self-disclosure - a willingness to let our partner enter into the interior of our private world and a genuine interest in the private world of that partner. Couples in love tend to show more of themselves to each other than to any other person.... (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)

Force, governmental coercion, is the instrument by which the ethics of altruism - the belief that the individual exists to serve others - is translated into political reality. (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
To love a person is to know and love the person. But we can pick up an enormous amount about another human being just by exchanging a couple of sentences. It’s not yet knowledge; it’s an intuition that motivates you to want to find out more. (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
Tell me how a person judges his or her self-esteem, and I will tell you how that person operates at work, in love, in sex, in parenting, in every important aspect of existence - and how high he or she is likely to rise. The reputation you have with yourself - your self-esteem - is the single most important factor for a fulfilling life. (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
Anyone who really loves you wants you to be authentic. And anyone who doesn’t want you to be authentic doesn’t really love you. (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
Of all the nonsense written about love, none is more absurd than the notion that ideal love is selfless. To love is to see myself in you and to wish to celebrate myself with you. What I love is the embodiment of my values in another person. Love is an act of self-assertion, self-expression and a celebration of being alive (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity. (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
A well-developed sense of self is a necessary if not sufficient condition of your well-being. Its presence does not guarantee fulfillment, but its absence guarantees some measure of anxiety, frustration, or despair (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
A goal without an action plan is a daydream (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
What is guilt? It is moral self-reproach-I did wrong when it was possible to have done otherwise (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
The policy of seeking values from human beings by means of force, when practiced by an individual, is called crime. When practiced by a government, it is called statism ... (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
Capitalism, by its nature, entails a constant process of motion, growth and progress (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
Live with integrity, respect the rights of other people, and follow your own bliss (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
It is very difficult to accept in others emotions you cannot accept in yourself (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
Most of the failings of objectivism all pertain directly or indirectly to issues of psychology (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
Integrity is congruence between what you know, what you profess, and what you do (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
A commitment to lifelong learning is a natural expression of the practice of living consciously (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
When people are not accepting toward themselves they are often obsessed with acceptance by others (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
I have to respect other’s opinions even if I don’t agree with them (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
The stability we cannot find in the world, we must create within our own persons (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
Living consciously is seeking to be aware of everything that bears on our interests, actions, values, purposes, and goals. It is the willingness to confront facts, pleasant or unpleasant. It is the desire to discover our mistakes and correct them... it is the quest to keep expanding our awareness and understanding, both of the world external to self and the world within (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
If you bring five percent more awareness to your work tomorrow, or to your most important relationship, what might you do differently? Are you willing to find out? (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
The practice of assertiveness: being authentic in our dealings with others; treating our values and persons with decent respect in social contexts; refusing to fake the reality of who we are or what we esteem in order to avoid disapproval; the willingness to stand up for ourselves and our ideas in appropriate ways in appropriate contexts (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
For the rational, psychologically healthy man, the desire for pleasure is the desire to celebrate his control over reality. For the neurotic, the desire for pleasure is the desire to escape from reality (Nathaniel Branden Quotes)
