Same website has an Any Rand collection:

“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.” – Ayn Rand

“Let me give you a tip on a clue to men’s characters: the man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it.” – Ayn Rand

“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

“Do you think nobody would willingly entrust his children to you and pay you for teaching them? Why do you have to extort your fees and collect your pupils by compulsion?”

“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”

“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.”

“Rationalization is a process of not perceiving reality, but of attempting to make reality fit one’s emotions.”

I wish Ayn Rand and Friends would not use the Marxist term “Capitalism” but rather “Free Enterprise” or even better “The Free Market”.

Reminds me of a piece of artwork by Charles M. Russell. Two cowboys are robbing a preacher. The caption is..

“If money’s the root of all evil,
Your reverence is going to weed.
It is the duty of a Saint, not a sinner,
To shake out your clothes for the seed.”
