Just as man can't exist without his body, so no rights can exist without the right to translate one's rights into reality, to think, to work and keep the results, which means: the right of property.
Ayn Rand

Men exist for the sake of one another.
Marcus Aurelius

That God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.
Jean-Paul Sartre

My thought is me: that is why I cannot stop thinking. I exist because I think I cannot keep from thinking.
Jean-Paul Sartre

I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.
Jean-Paul Sartre

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.
Franz Kafka

What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
Pablo Picasso

Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.
Saint Augustine

God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist.
Saint Augustine

In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.
Albert Camus

A man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works.
William Morris

John Adams

Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist.

For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
James Russell Lowell

Universities exist to transmit knowledge and understanding of ideas and values to students not to provide entertainment for spectators or employment for athletes.
Milton Friedman

He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.
William Blake

What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!
William Blake

Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed.
William Blake
