Subsetting from pareto distribution

I have a dataset of 20k records heavily right skewed as pareto
distribution, I'd like to pull 1k subset of it with same distribution, any
R package would do that?

Why not just:

 subdat <- dat[sample( nrow(dat), 1000), ] # if "dataset" is a dataframe

Or:

subdat <- dat[sample( length(dat), 1000) ] # if "dataset" is a vector

Thanks.
