Opening Bid

Famous quotes containing the words opening and/or bid:

    The appetite for power, even for universal power, is only insane when there is no possibility of indulging it; a man who sees the possibility opening before him and does not try to grasp it, even at the risk of destroying himself and his country, is either a saint or a mediocrity.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    Now bid me run,
    And I will strive with things impossible,
    Yea, get the better of them.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
