Text Quotes
You are frightened of everything. You call it caution. You call it common sense. You call it practicality. You call it playing the odds, but that’s only because you’re afraid to call it by its real name, and its real name is fear  (Odds Quotes) When you consider all the writers who never even had a machine. Who would have given an eyeball for a good typewriter. Any typewriter. All the ones who wrote on a matchbook covers. Paper bags. Toilet paper. Who had their writing destroyed by their jailers. Who persisted beyond all odds  (Odds Quotes) I have not survived against all odds. I have not lived to tell. I have not witnessed the extraordinary. This is my story  (Odds Quotes) I agree that you might clone some people who would look amazingly like their parental cell donors, but the odds are that they’d be almost as different as you or me, and certainly more different than any of today’s identical twins  (Odds Quotes) When you’re picking a basketball team, you’ll take the brother over the guy with the yarmulke. Why? Because you’re playing the odds  (Odds Quotes) The fundamental problem with golf is that every so often, no matter how lacking you may be in the essential virtues required of a steady player, the odds are that one day you will hit the ball straight, hard, and out of sight. This is the essential frustration of this excruciating sport. For when you’ve done it once, you make the fundamental error of asking yourself why you can’t do this all the time. The answer to this question is simple: the first time was a fluke  (Odds Quotes) The odds are six to five that the light in the end of the tunnel is the headlight of an oncoming train  (Odds Quotes) It is no easy task to walk this earth and find peace. Inside of us, it would seem, something is at odds with the very rhythm of things and we are forever restless, dissatisfied, frustrated, and aching. We are so overcharged with desire that it is hard to come to simple rest. Desire is always stronger than satisfaction  (Odds Quotes) The more survival skills an individual has that have been practiced physically and otherwise, the better odds they have for those skills coming to the forefront during a stressful emergency  (Odds Quotes) Homeschooling will certainly produce some socially awkward adults, but the odds are good they would have been just as quirky had they spent twelve years raising their hand for permission to go to the bathroom  (Odds Quotes) If you’re a voracious reader and you write something that you want to read, odds are other people will want to read it, too  (Odds Quotes) You need to be uncomfortable and apprehensive: True strategy is about placing bets and making hard choices. The objective is not to eliminate risk but to increase the odds of success  (Odds Quotes) In every historical period, the religious groups that grow most rapidly are those that set believers at odds with the surrounding culture  (Odds Quotes) I write novels about ordinary women who face seemingly insurmountable odds but through courage and determination find their heart’s desire  (Odds Quotes) I had learned that every patient has the right to hope, despite long odds, and it was my role to help nurture that hope  (Odds Quotes) If you’re going to love animals and have a life with them, the odds are you’re going to lose them. It’s helpful when you get a dog to accept the fact that this dog is not going to be with you your whole life  (Odds Quotes) Most investors are pretty smart. Yet most investors also remain heavily invested in actively managed stock funds. This is puzzling. The temptation, of course, is to dismiss these folks as ignorant fools. But I suspect these folks know the odds are stacked against them, and yet they are more than happy to take their chances  (Odds Quotes) So don’t stop moving forward. For a while, you may feel as though you’re taking two steps forward, one step back. And there may be some personal heartache along the way. But when you look your little ones in the eye, you will find your voice and take a stand for them. We are their voices. And we must have the courage to stand up for them, whatever the odds or however powerful the opposition might be  (Odds Quotes) I’m skeptical of passive learning. If you don’t write down what you’re hearing and learning, what the odds you remember it?  (Odds Quotes) Our popular economics writers, however, are not in the business of giving their readers a ringside seat on the research action; with no exception I can think of, they use their books to do an end run around the normal structure of scholarship, to preach ideas that few serious economists share. Often, these ideas are not just at odds with the professional consensus; they are demonstrably wrong, and sometimes terminally silly. But they sound good to the unwary reader  (Odds Quotes) There are just four kinds of bets. There are good bets, bad bets, bets that you win, and bets that you lose. Winning a bad bet can be the most dangerous outcome of all, because a success of that kind can encourage you to take more bad bets in the future, when the odds will be running against you. You can also lose a good bet no matter how sound the underlying proposition, but if you keep placing good bets, over time, the law of averages will be working for you  (Odds Quotes) Embrace opportunities with limited downside, unlimited upside. The best deals are those where your risk of loss is predictable and fixed if things go wrong, while your potential gains are enormous if things go right. Take such deals whenever you can get them if the odds of success are halfway decent  (Odds Quotes) You take a fraction of reality and expand on it. It’s very seldom totally at odds with the facts. It’s shaving a piece of reality off  (Odds Quotes) To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule. To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing  (Odds Quotes) I have gotten where I am today only because I have persisted against all odds for a long time  (Odds Quotes) I think if anyone tells you the odds are slim, just keep walking. Just do whatever the hell you want to do, because they don’t know what they’re talking about. When you love something, and you work really really hard at it, you can do it  (Odds Quotes) Heroism is not blind courage: it is selfless action. it is knowing the odds are stacked against you, but feeling that you must do what you do for the good of others  (Odds Quotes) If people don’t think the odds are against you, you’re doing it wrong  (Odds Quotes) Accepting that the odds are against you is the same as accepting defeat before you begin  (Odds Quotes) We should never shy away from the challenges that face us out of fear of failure or an unwillingness to battle the odds. We should confront our problems head on and make no excuses  (Odds Quotes)
