Pass Bet

Famous quotes containing the words pass and/or bet:

    I knew a gentleman who was so good a manager of his time that he would not even lose that small portion of it which the calls of nature obliged him to pass in the necessary-house, but gradually went through all the Latin poets in those moments. He bought, for example, a common edition of Horace, of which he tore off gradually a couple of pages, read them first, and then sent them down as a sacrifice to Cloacina: this was so much time fairly gained.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Daniel: I’m glad to know you.
    Jerry: How can you be glad to know me? I know how I’d feel if I were sitting with a girl and her husband walked in.
    Lucy: I’ll bet you do.
    Vina Delmar, U.S. novelist, playwright. Daniel (Ralph Bellamy)
