• Una buena escuela es un concepto relativo, y las mejores escuelas están situadas en barrios más caros. Pero cuando todo el mundo puja más por una casa en un distrito escolar mejor, lo único que consigue es que suban los precios de esas casas. Como antes, el 50% de todos los niños asistirán a escuelas situadas en la mitad inferior de la distribución de la calidad escolar. Como en la conocida metáfora del estadio, todos se ponen de pie, con la esperanza de tener una mejor vista, sólo para descubrir que nadie ve mejor que si todos hubieran permanecido sentados.

• My daily sins require daily distribution of God's grace. In that sense, it never ceases to surprise me because I don't deserve any of it. I mean, I deserve to be locked in a cage and for God to throw away the key.

• The distribution of the market is fat-tailed relative to the normal distribution... For passive investors, none of this matters, beyond being aware that outlier returns are more common than would be expected if return distributions were normal.

• People would be a lot more skeptical if they understood that there is an incredible amount of chance in the results that you observe for active managers. So the distribution of outcomes is enormously wide - but that's exactly what you'd expect by chance with lots of active managers who hold imperfectly diversified portfolios. The really good portfolios contain a lot of really lucky picks, and the really bad portfolios contain a lot of really unlucky picks as well as some really bad ones.

• There is the illusion of time, which is very deep; who has disposed of it? Mor come to the conviction that what seems the succession of thought is only the distribution of wholes into causal series.

• La educación general es la mejor prevención de los males ahora más temidos. En los países civilizados del mundo, la cuestión es cómo distribuir de manera más general y equitativa la propiedad del mundo. Por regla general, donde la educación es más general, la distribución de la propiedad es más general.... A medida que se difunde el conocimiento, se difunde la riqueza. Difundir el conocimiento es difundir la riqueza. Dar a todos las mismas oportunidades de adquirir conocimientos es la mejor y más segura manera de dar a todos las mismas oportunidades de adquirir propiedades.

• One thing that is wrongly hyped is social media For many media organizations, they think it of it as distribution, and yes it's good for that. What's missing is the power of social media for engagement with the audience and for newsgathering.

• In a condition of society and under an industrial organization which places labor completely at the mercy of capital, the accumulations of capital will necessarily be rapid, and an unequal distribution of wealth is at once to be observed.

• Mr. Darwin's hypothesis is not, so far as I am aware, inconsistent with any known biological fact; on the contrary, if admitted, the facts of Development, of Comparative Anatomy, of Geographical Distribution, and of Palaeontology, become connected together, and exhibit a meaning such as they never possessed before; and I, for one, am fully convinced that if not precisely true, that hypothesis is as near an approximation to the truth as, for example, the Copernican hypothesis was to the true theory of the planetary motions.

• No quiero que nuestro éxito se mida únicamente por criterios financieros, ni por nuestra distribución o número de tiendas. Lo que quiero que se celebre -y va a ser difícil en un entorno empresarial- es lo buenos que somos con nuestros empleados y cómo beneficiamos a nuestra comunidad. Es un balance diferente.

• Observe a method in the distribution of your time. Every hour will then know its proper employment, and no time will be lost. Idleness will be shut out at every avenue, and with her that numerous body of vices that make up her train.

• La esperanza del cristiano es inseparable de su fe. Quien cree en la inspiración divina de las Sagradas Escrituras debe esperar que la religión de Jesús prevalezca en toda la tierra. Nunca desde la fundación del mundo han sido las perspectivas de la humanidad más alentadoras para esa esperanza de lo que parecen ser en el momento presente. Y que la distribución asociada de la Biblia prosiga y prospere hasta que el Señor haya hecho 'desnudo su santo brazo a los ojos de todas las naciones, y todos los confines de la tierra vean la salvación de nuestro Dios' (Isaías 52:10).

• I have a feeling-as compelling as a religious conviction-that if industry will constantly pass on to the worker and the customer all the savings of labor-saving machinery and invention, rather than siphon them off into the pools of watered securities, it will by that process keep distribution and production in balance and go as far toward Utopia as our poor human natures will go or be driven.

• The difference of the degrees in which the individuals of a great community enjoy the good things of life has been a theme of declaration and discontent in all ages; and it is doubtless our paramount duty, in every state of society, to alleviate the pressure of the purely evil part of this distribution, as much as possible, and, by all the means we can devise, secure the lower links in the chain of society from dragging in dishonor and wretchedness.

• Fans decide what pop culture is. We can define ourselves. Music and the presentation of art nowadays is totally in our control, with the Internet specifically. You no longer need record labels. You no longer need movie distribution companies. You can just make it and put it online, and it will distribute itself to millions of people. The borders and everything have been broken down. It really is in the hands of the people.

• Socialism to me is establishing social control of power in society, and where that differs from liberalism for example which aims at a similar situation in some respects, is we think you can only establish control over power by changing the structure and distribution of power, notably economic power.
