You know why the leftist revolution hasn't happened yet, and probably never will? It's because no one wants to go first, because they know that leftists never have anyone's back. The first person to have the nerve to charge the enemy line (or whatever you call it) and go with their banners flying and sword drawn would reach the enemy, and just as they're about to die, about to get shot or captured or whatever, they'll turn around and find themselves all alone. Instead of finding anybody at their back ready to die with them, they're gonna find a bunch of lefties way off in the distance reading a book by some pencil-necked dork about why you're attacking in the wrong place.

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

Nothing is quite as expensive as being poor.
