Trick

Famous quotes containing the word trick:

    “People that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. They amuse themselves and other children but their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    “Suspicion all our lives shall be stuck full of eyes;
    Treason is but trusted like the fox,
    Who never so tame, so cherished and locked up,
    Will have a wild trick of his ancestors.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ““It’s better to be fooled than to be suspicious”Mthat the confidence trick is the work of man, but the want-of-confidence trick is the work of the devil.”
