I recently read the following quote in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. I'm not yet decided on why I appreciate it exactly, but I think it's something worth remembering and thinking about. The following are the words of Francisco d'Anconia to Henry Rearden, one industrialist magnate to another:
"I don't like people who speak or think in terms of gaining anybody's confidence. If one's actions are honest, one does not need the predated confidence of others, only their rational perception. The person who craves a moral blank check of that kind has dishonest intentions, whether he admits it to himself or not."
