Famous quotes containing the words hardest, shot and/or competition:
“Misfortune is never mournful to the soul that accepts it; for such do always see that every cloud is an angels face. Every man deems that he has precisely the trials and temptations which are the hardest of all others for him to bear; but they are so, simply because they are the very ones he most needs.”
—Lydia M. Child (18021880)
“Suppose by chance you do get picked up. What have you done? You shot a horse; that isnt first degree murder; in fact, it isnt even murder; in fact, I dont know what it is.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“The elements of success in this business do not differ from the elements of success in any other. Competition is keen and bitter. Advertising is as large an element as in any other business, and since the usual avenues of successful exploitation are closed to the profession, the adage that the best advertisement is a pleased customer is doubly true for this business.”
—Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and madam. Madeleine, ch. 5 (1919)
