“Pyramid of Moral Endurance”

The following quote is closely related to the thoughts expressed in Albert Jay Nock’s Isaiah’s Job which I linked to the other day.

In Atlas Shrugged, I discussed the “pyramid of ability” in the realm of economics. There is another kind of social pyramid. The genius who fights “every form of tyranny over the mind of man” is fighting a battle for which lesser men do not have the strength, but on which their freedom, their dignity, and their integrity depend. It is the pyramid of moral endurance.
