Riding Losing

Famous quotes containing the words riding and/or losing:

    Wilmer Cook: Keep on riding me, they’re gonna be picking iron out of your liver.
    Sam Spade: The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter.
    John Huston (1906–1987)

    All this stuff you heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.... Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost—and will never lose—a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.
    Francis Ford Coppola (b. 1939)
