You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith, and hope. | |

A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. | |

Irreplaceable Sparks
Posted in Faith, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand, Faith, Hope, Persistence, Philosophy, Quotes on January 10, 2018| Leave a Comment »
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours. | |
― Ayn Rand | |
From her novel: “Atlas Shrugged“ | |
