Main Wager

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or wager:

    One of the main tasks of adolescence is to achieve an identity—not necessarily a knowledge of who we are, but a clarification of the range of what we might become, a set of self-references by which we can make sense of our responses, and justify our decisions and goals.
    Terri Apter (20th century)

    When Methodist preachers come down
    A-preaching that drinking is sinful,
    I’ll wager the rascals a crown
    They always preach best with a skinful.
    Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
