Aphorisms to live by
most are mine but some I took with credit given
1)Never sacrifice reason and logic to the god of, "because it makes me feel better"
2) Why do we feel the need for the super natural, when the natural is so breath taking?
3)It stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there's someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master. ~Ayn Rand~
4)Give others the maximum amount of rights with out letting them infringe upon your own rights.
5)We are afraid of what we don't understand so strive to understand the things you are the most afraid of first.
6)being cradled in one culture leads to a childlike view of a world with many cultures
7)The things that you value the most are the source of the deepest pleasure yet also take the most effort to achieve. Small pleasures from small effort are fine but they are no substitute for the deeper pleasures of creation.
8) the fact of a matter, is independent of one's motivation for believing it. ~Nigle Warburton~
9)Human nature is like all nature, there is no good, or evil, just instinct and reason, desire and abstinence.
10)If it is now the belief of my fellow men, who call themselves the public, that their good requires victims, then I say: The public good be damned, I will have no part of it! Ayn Rand
