Words of Wisdom: Ayn Rand on Money
Ayn Rand was an author, philosopher, and screenwriter. Her philosophy was Objectivism-- she favored individualism, laissez-faire capitalism, and constitutional protection of the right to life, liberty, and property. She opposed all forms of collectivism and statism, including fascism, communism, and the welfare state. Here are some of her thoughts on money:
- Money is the barometer of a society's virtue
- Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter
- Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver
- So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?
- Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to men's stupidity, but your talent to their reason
