  • Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started.

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (1963). “For the New Intellectual: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand (50th Anniversary Edition)”, p.72, Penguin
  • America's skyscrapers were not built by public funds nor for a public purpose: they were built by the energy, initiative and wealth of private individuals for personal profit. And, instead of impoverishing the people, these skyscrapers, as they rose higher and higher, kept raising the people's standard of living - including the inhabitants of the slums.

  • It is morally obscene to regard wealth as an anonymous, tribal product and to talk about 'redistributing' it.

    Ayn Rand, Nathaniel Branden, Alan Greenspan, Robert Hessen (1986). “Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal”, p.27, Penguin
  • Since time immemorial and pre-industrial, 'greed' has been the accusation hurled at the rich by the concrete-bound illiterates who were unable to conceive of the source of wealth or of the motivation of those who produce it.

    Ayn Rand (1966). “Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal”, Signet Book
  • If you ask me to name the proudest distinction of Americans, I would choose . . . the fact that they were the people who created the phrase "to make money." No other language or nation had ever used these words before. . . . Americans were the first to understand that wealth has to be created.

    Ayn Rand (1988). “The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z”, p.38, Penguin
  • Ask anything of men. Ask them to achieve wealth, fame, love, brutality, murder, self-sacrifice. But don’t ask them to achieve self-respect. They will hate your soul.

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (1999). “Ayn Rand Reader”, p.69, Penguin
  • When it is established that government by right can take wealth from some and give it to others. When a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law, men will use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims. Such looters believe it safe to rob defenseless men, once they have passed a law to disarm them. But their loot becomes the magnet for other looters, who get it from them as they got it. Then the race goes, not to the ablest at production, but to those most ruthless at brutality. When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket.

    Men  
  • He despised causeless affection, just as he despised unearned wealth. They professed to love him for some unknown reason and they ignored all the things for which he could wish to be loved.

    Ayn Rand (2016). “Atlas Shrugged”, p.28, Hamilton Books
  • Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men's protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it.

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (2011). “Ayn Rand Novel Collection”, p.1448, Penguin
  • The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

    "Biography / Personal Quotes". www.imdb.com.
  • Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think.

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (2016). “Atlas Shrugged”, p.314, Hamilton Books
  • What greater wealth is there than to own your life and to spend it on growing? Every living thing must grow. It can't stand still. It must grow or perish.

    Life  
    Ayn Rand (2011). “Ayn Rand Novel Collection”, p.1834, Penguin
  • Whoever claims the right to redistribute the wealth produced by others is claiming the right to treat human beings as chattel.

    Ayn Rand (1988). “The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z”, p.219, Penguin
  • Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it.

    Ayn Rand (1963). “For the New Intellectual: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand (50th Anniversary Edition)”, p.74, Penguin
  • Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.

    Ayn Rand (2016). “Atlas Shrugged”, p.315, Hamilton Books
  • Capitalism was the only system in history where wealth was not acquired by looting, but by production, not by force, but by trade, the only system that stood for man's right to his own mind, to his work, to his life, to his happiness, to himself.

    Ayn Rand, Nathaniel Branden, Alan Greenspan, Robert Hessen (1986). “Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal”, p.181, Penguin
