![“My greatest personal mistake is ever to allow a word or moment that “doesn’t count,” i.e., that I do not refer to my own basic principles. Every word, every action, every moment counts. (This is the pattern on which everybody makes mistakes [or] becomes irrational — not relating their one action…” quote by Ayn Rand](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/cf6/ayn-rand-59_action_my-greatest-personal-mistake-is-ever-to_36324.jpg)
