Thoughts for the day

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. - Ayn Rand


Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual). - Ayn Rand


Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law. - Ayn Rand


There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. - Ayn Rand


It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master. - Ayn Rand


Just as man can't exist without his body, so no rights can exist without the right to translate one's rights into reality, to think, to work and keep the results, which means: the right of property. - Ayn Rand


Potentially, 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. - Ayn Rand

Thanks.

The quotations are full of knowledge and wishdom.

I fully agreed with the contents of the quotations.

A wise speech on personal liberty under the fundamental rights and human rights.

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

 

Do not ever say that the desire to “do good” by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives. - Ayn Rand

 

Government “help” to business is just as disastrous as government persecution… the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off. - Ayn Rand

Justice alone is the mainstay of government and the source of prosperity to the governed, injustice is the most pernicious of things; it saps the foundations of the government and brings ruin upon the realm - Sher Shah Sur, Sultan-ul-Adil

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. - Thomas Paine


Those who live by the sword have a fighting chance. Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't. The choice is yours.
