Uncalled Winning Hand

Famous quotes containing the words winning and/or hand:

    She whom I love is hard to catch and conquer,
    Hard, but O the glory of the winning were she won!
    George Meredith (1828–1909)

    I know with certainty, that [an honest man] is not to put his hand into the fire, and hold it there, till it be consumed: And this event, I think I can foretell with the same assurance, as that, if he throw himself out at the window, and meet with no obstruction, he will not remain a moment suspended in the air.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
