• Creo que sólo hay una o dos personas en el mundo con las que se puede tener una verdadera conexión.

• Afortunados en verdad son aquellos en los que se combina un poco de bien y un poco de mal, un poco de conocimiento de muchas cosas fuera de sus propias vocaciones, una capacidad para el amor y una capacidad para el odio, porque tales como éstos pueden mirar con tolerancia a todos, imparciales por el egoísmo de aquel cuya cabeza está tan pesada en un lado que todos sus cerebros corren hacia ese punto.

• Liberals tend to understand that a person can be lucky or unlucky in all matters relevant to his success. Conservatives, however, often make a religious fetish of individualism. Many seem to have absolutely no awareness of how fortunate one must be to succeed at anything in life, no matter how hard one works. One must be lucky to be able to work. One must be lucky to be intelligent, physically healthy, and not bankrupted in middle age by the illness of a spouse.

• El nativo americano ha sido generalmente despreciado por sus conquistadores blancos por su pobreza y simplicidad. Olvidan, tal vez, que su religión prohibía la acumulación de riquezas y el disfrute del lujo... Además, la norma de su vida era compartir los frutos de su habilidad y éxito con sus hermanos menos afortunados. Así mantuvo su espíritu libre de la obstrucción del orgullo, la codicia o la envidia, y cumplió, como él creía, el decreto divino, un asunto profundamente importante para él.
