Pass Bet

Famous quotes containing the words pass and/or bet:

    There are few things on which we can pass a sincere judgement, because there are few things in which we have not, in one way or another, a particular interest.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
