You will not enter [Atlantis] until you learn that you do not need to convince or to conquer the world. When you learn it, you will see that through all the years of your struggle, nothing had barred you from Atlantis and there were no chains to hold you...

[I]f the government assumes a totalitarian power and its officials are not subject to any law, *who will protect us from our protectors*?

[W]hen you choose any activity, you must act according to the nature and terms of that activity -- if you want to succeed.

The only real threat to people's savings, which shrinks them and can wipe them out, is *inflation*.

Infallibility is not a precondition of knowing what one does know, of firmness in one's convictions, and of loyalty to one's values.

[I]f a carnivorous pack attacks them, animals perish--man writes the Constitution of the United States.

Observe that in all the propaganda of the ecologists....[m]an is treated as if he were an *unnatural* phenomenon.

An attempt to achieve the good by force is like an attempt to provide a man with a picture gallery at the price of cutting out his eyes.

[The Constitution] is not a charter *for* government power, but a charter of the citizens' protection *against* the government.

The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see.

Happiness is not to be achieved at the command of emotional whims.
