• ... las ventajas de ser cartero parecían cada vez más dudosas. No es una profesión agradable para nadie que sea sensible en absoluto, porque la gente hace recaer sobre el cartero toda su primera molestia al recibir un par de billetes cuando buscaban una carta de amor, y si un paquete está insuficientemente sellado entregan los peniques como a un bandido despreciable, demasiado escandaloso para ser negado, demasiado rastrero para ser temido.

• To the extent that sacrifices need to be made, shouldn't the people who've made out like bandits this past generation be first in line? The problem with getting out of the slump is that we need to spend more. It's not that somebody needs to spend less. We have idle workers who have the skills and the willingness to work. We have idle factories. Dealing with this is not about saying somebody needs to suffer. It's saying that we need to be prepared to open the taps.

• In the [first] fifteen years [of field work] I can remember just ten times when I had really narrow escapes from death. Two were from drowning in typhoons, one was when our boat was charged by a wounded whale; once my wife and I were nearly eaten by wild dogs, once we were in great danger from fanatical lama priests; two were close calls when I fell over cliffs, once I was nearly caught by a huge python, and twice I might have been killed by bandits.

• Los líderes de éxito desarrollan estrategias eficaces para mantener sus límites. ... La mayoría de los bandidos del tiempo no conocen nada mejor. Y ser un bandido del tiempo es una cuestión de contexto. El bandido del tiempo de una persona es la diversión placentera de otra. ... En lugar de apretar los dientes para ser educados y resentir al bandido del tiempo por retrasarnos, la mejor opción es ser honesto. No podemos esperar que otra persona satisfaga nuestras necesidades a menos que nosotros mismos las afirmemos.

• No se puede hacer nada sin incitar a las masas a la acción. Hay que convocar una reunión plenaria del Soviet para decidir los registros masivos en Petrogrado y en las estaciones de mercancías. Para llevar a cabo
  Para llevar a cabo estos registros, cada fábrica y empresa debe formar contingentes, no sobre una base voluntaria: debe ser el deber de todos a participar en estos registros bajo la amenaza de ser privado de
  su tarjeta del pan. No podemos esperar llegar a ninguna parte si no recurrimos al terrorismo: los especuladores deben ser fusilados en el acto. Por otra parte, los bandidos deben ser tratados con la misma determinación: deben ser
  fusilados en el acto.

• Apropos, is not the Scotch phrase 'Auld Lang Syne' exceedingly expressive? I shall give you the verses on the other sheet. The words of 'Auld Lang Syne' are good, but the music is an old air, the rudiments of the modern tune of that name. ... Dare to be honest and fear no labor. ... Opera is where a man gets stabbed in the back, and instead of dying, he sings. ... Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure thrill the deepest notes of woe. ... Critics! Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame.
