More From Ayn Rand

These are the things before me. and as i stand here at the door of glory, i look behind me for the last time. i look upon the history of men, which i have learned from the books, and i wonder. it was a long story, and the spirit which moved it was the spirit of man’s freedom. but what is freedom? freedom from what? there is nothing to take a man’s freedom away from him, save other men. to be free, a man must be free of his brothers. that is freedom. this and nothing else.
Brother Freedom Book
Your eyes are as a flame, but our brothers have neither hope nor fire. your mouth is cut of granite, but our brothers are soft and humble. your head is high, but our brothers cringe. you walk, but our brothers crawl. we wish to be damned with you, rather than blessed with all our brothers. do as you please with us, but do not send us away from you.
Brother Blessed Humble
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.
War Believe Struggle
When a warrior fights not for himself, but for his brothers, when his most passionately sought goal is neither glory nor his own life's preservation, but to spend his substance for them, his comrades, not to abandon them, not to prove unworthy of them, then his heart truly has achieved contempt for death, and with that he transcends himself and his actions touch the sublime. that is why the true warrior cannot speak of battle save to his brothers who have been there with him. the truth is too holy, too sacred, for words." -suicide (gates of fire)
Suicide Brother Heart
At first, man was enslaved by the gods. but he broke their chains. then he was enslaved by the kings. but he broke their chains. he was enslaved by his birth, by his kin, by his race. but he broke their chains. he declared to all his brothers that a man has rights which neither god nor king nor other men can take away from him, no matter what their number, for his is the right of man, and there is no right on earth above this right. and he stood on the threshold of freedom for which the blood of the centuries behind him had been spilled.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.
