the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast, some rand (a nice breakdown essay) in the morning:



a trader, a man of justice, earns what he receives and neither gives nor takes the undeserved. just as he does not work except in exchange for something of economic value, he also does not give his love, friendship, or esteem except in trade for the pleasure he receives from the virtues of individuals he respects. love, friendship, and esteem, as moral tributes, are caused and must be earned. productiveness, the virtue of creating material values, is the art of translating one's thoughts and goals into reality. pride, the total of the preceding virtues, can be thought of as moral ambitiousness.
