Betting Exchanges

Famous quotes containing the words betting and/or exchanges:

“All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of all the other men of her acquaintance for the inattention of just one.”
—Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
