In order to advise another, should be too good to know the other. But it's difficult, because in order to know another, we must first know themselves well, but in order to see itself required so much time that no time to learn another, and especially to judge it.

Since then, as I took the bosses can be even incredible, all get well like flies. The patient does not have time to get to the infirmary as it is already healthy; and not so much medicines, how much honesty and order.

One time I even ran the Department. And strangely the Director had left - which left unknown. Well, naturally, went to talk: how, what, who are to take place? Many of the generals were hunters and were taken, but the fit used - no wonder. Think and easy to look at and consider - just for fuck's sake! Once they see nothing else to do for me. And in the same moment on the streets are couriers, couriers, couriers... you can imagine, thirty-five thousand couriers! What is the situation? - I ask. "Ivan go to manage the Department!" I admit, a little embarrassed, came out in Bathrobe: I wanted to refuse, but think: will it come to the sovereign, Yes, and track record too...

The appearance of the second volume in the form in which it was, would produce more harm than good. <...> To withdraw some excellent characters, exhibiting high nobility of our breed, to anything will not lead. It will excite only one empty pride and boasting. Many of us even now, especially among the youth, began to boast not the best of Russian virtues, and not think about how to deepen and cultivate, but to put them on display and say to Europe: "Look, the Germans: we are better than you!" This boasting - the destroyer of all. It irritates others and causes harm to the bouncer. The best thing is you can turn in the mud, if only they boast and brag about. And we are not yet making the case, they brag! Brag about the future! No, for me, better temporary sadness and melancholy from himself than arrogance in itself. In the first case, the person, at least, sees his presenst, vile pettiness of my own, and involuntarily remember about God, ascending and deducing all from the depths of nothingness; in the latter case, he runs away from himself directly into the hands of the devil, the father of arrogance <...>. No, there are times when it is not possible to direct the society or even all of the generation is beautiful, until you show the depth of his true abomination; there are times that even we are not to talk about the high and beautiful without showing there as plain as day, paths and roads to it all.

What a strange fashion now bred in Russia! The man himself is lying on his side, the matter really lazy, and the other urges, exactly as if another will certainly need to make every effort to pull from the joy that his friend is lying on its side. Just note that even though one person was seriously engaged in some business, I hasten from all sides, and then it will vibrant if you do stupid, you say: "Why hurry?"
