• If, on a full and final review, my life and practice shall be found unworthy of my principles, let due infamy be heaped on my memory; but let none be led thereby to distrust the principles to which I proved recreant, nor yet the ability of some to adorn them by a suitable life and conversation. To unerring time be all this committed.

• La distinción más realista entre el inversor y el especulador se encuentra en su actitud hacia los movimientos del mercado de valores. El principal interés del especulador es anticiparse a las fluctuaciones del mercado y beneficiarse de ellas. El principal interés del inversor consiste en adquirir y mantener valores adecuados a precios adecuados. Los movimientos del mercado son importantes para él en un sentido práctico, porque crean alternativamente niveles de precios bajos en los que sería prudente comprar y niveles de precios altos en los que ciertamente debería abstenerse de comprar y probablemente sería prudente vender.

• He alone is worthy of the appellation who either does great things, or teaches how they may be done, or describes them with a suitable majesty when they have been done; but those only are great things which tend to render life more happy, which increase the innocent enjoyments and comforts of existence, or which pave the way to a state of future bliss more permanent and more pure.

• ¿Puede sugerir alguna calumnia adecuada para difundir en el extranjero sobre la Sra. Thatcher? Es ocioso sugerir que mantiene relaciones antinaturales con la señora Barbara Castle; lo que se necesita es algo socialmente inferior: que coma espárragos con cuchillo y tenedor, o que sirva puré de patatas instantáneo.

• Parents vary in their sense of what would be suitable repayment for creating, sustaining, and tolerating you all those years, andwhat circumstances would be drastic enough for presenting the voucher. Obviously there is no repayment that would be sufficient . . . but the effort to call in the debt of life is too outrageous to be treated as anything other than a joke.

• But we must here state that we should not see anything if there were a vacuum. But this would not be due to some nature hindering species, and resisting it, but because of the lack of a nature suitable for the multiplication of species; for species is a natural thing, and therefore needs a natural medium; but in a vacuum nature does not exist.

• Ya estaba realizando una espléndida labor de investigación leyendo todos los libros sobre fantasmas que caían en mis manos y, en particular, sobre historias reales de fantasmas -hasta el punto de que me vi obligado a leer un capítulo de _Mujercitas_ cada noche antes de apagar la luz- y, al mismo tiempo, coleccionaba fotografías de casas, sobre todo de casas raras, para ver qué podía encontrar para convertirla en una casa encantada adecuada.

• Von Neumann languages do not have useful properties for reasoning about programs. Axiomatic and denotational semantics are precise tools for describing and understanding conventional programs, but they only talk about them and cannot alter their ungainly properties. Unlike von Neumann languages, the language of ordinary algebra is suitable both for stating its laws and for transforming an equation into its solution, all within the "language."

• If I buy a Fiat Uno, I'll read that, for a man like me, a Ferrari was more suitable. If instead I buy a Ferrari, they'll write that I should have kept my feet on the ground and bought a Fiat.

• If you don't educate people well, then you're going to have a lot of violent, angry young men and women. You can go around saying they're all so violent, just throw them in jail, this is an underclass, what can you do? You can create fear. The issue of violence is very suitable for a repressive society. Then you can have more legislation, more police, more laws to fight crime, when all you need to do is to encourage people in a different way.

Y "El principal interés del especulador reside en anticiparse a las fluctuaciones del mercado y beneficiarse de ellas. El principal interés del inversor reside en adquirir y mantener valores adecuados a precios adecuados.
