Pass Bet

Famous quotes containing the words pass and/or bet:

    “Ovid lies here, the poet, skilled in love’s gentle sport;
    By his own talents he worked his undoing.
    Oh, you who pass by, if ever you have loved,
    Think it not a burden to wish him calm repose.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “I see that every man that went in had his pockets bulging, or something muffled up under his coat—and I see it warn’t no perfumery either, not by a long sight. I smelt sickly eggs by the barrel, and rotten cabbages, and such things; and if I know the signs of a dead cat being around, and I bet I do, there was sixty-four of them went in. I shoved in there for a minute, but it was too various for me, I couldn’t stand it.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
