Debo a Rústico el haber comprendido la necesidad de enderezar mi carácter y vigilarlo de continuo; no haberme desviado hacia la hinchazón de la sofística, ni haber compuesto tratados teóricos ni esas obras retóricas que tienden a la

“Even in recent times, the empirical evidence does not support the claim that trade liberalization or incentive neutrality leads to faster growth. It is true that higher manufacturing growth rates have been typically associated with higher export growth rates (mostly in countries where export and import shares to GDP grew), but there is no statistical relation between either of these growth rates or degree of trade restrictions. Rather, almost all of successful export-oriented growth has come with selective trade and industrialization policies. In this regard, stable exchange rates and national price levels seem to be considerably more important than import policy in producing successful export-oriented growth”

“If you have free trade and free circulation of
capital and people but destroy the social state and all forms of progressive taxation, the temptations of defensive nationalism and identity politics will very likely grow stronger than ever in both Europe and the United States. Note, finally, that the less developed countries will be among the primary beneficiaries of a more just and transparent international tax system.”

“De Alejandro el platónico, el no repetir a menudo y sin necesidad, sea de viva voz, sea por escrito, que estoy muy ocupado; y no rechazar así, sistemáticamente, los deberes que las relaciones sociales imponen, pretextando un agobio de quehaceres.”

“Apenas amanezca, hazte en tu interior esta cuenta: hoy tropezaré con algún entremetido, con algún ingrato, con algún insolente, con un doloso, un envidioso, un egoísta. Todos estos vicios les sobrevinieron por ignorancia del bien y del mal. Pero yo, habiendo observado que la naturaleza del bien es lo bello, y que la del mal es lo torpe, y que la condición del pecador mismo es tal que no deja de ser mi pariente, participante, no de mi misma sangre o prosapia, pero sí de una misma inteligencia y de una partícula de la divinidad, no puedo recibir afrenta de ninguno de ellos, porque ninguno podría mancharme con su infamia. No puedo tampoco enojarme contra mi pariente ni aborrecerle, que hemos sido creados para ayudarnos mutuamente, como lo hacen los pies, las manos, los párpados, los dos órdenes de dientes, el superior y el inferior. Obrar, pues, como adversarios los unos de los otros es ir contra la naturaleza: y es tratar a alguien de adversario el hecho de indignarse o apartarse de él.”
