Cowards Will NEVER Overcome Threats, Or Achieve Happiness For Being A Coward

"Facing reality is in a person's self-interest, even when certain aspects of reality are threatening, because it allows him to proceed rationally - realistically - and thus with the chance of overcoming threats and achieving happiness. The case for honesty is completely egoistic. Whatever effects for others may result from a person's honesty, a person should be honest because his happiness depends on it."

- Ayn Rand's Normative Ethics, By Tara Smith pg 105

Second Handers

"Notice how they'll accept anything except a man who stands alone. They recognize him at once . . .

There's a special insidious kind of hatred for him. They forgive criminals. They admire dictators. Crime and violence are a tie. A form of mutual dependence.

They need ties. They've got to force their miserable little personalities on every single person they meet.

The independent man kills them - because they don't exist within him and that's the only form of existence they know. Notice the malignant kind of resentment against any idea that propounds independence.

Notice the malice toward an independent man."
