Chances

Famous quotes containing the word chances:

    Brigid: You’re not ...
    Sam Spade: Yes, angel. I’m gonna send you over. But chances are you’ll get off with life. That means if you’re a good girl you’ll get out in twenty years. I’ll be waiting for you. If they hang you, I’ll always remember you.
    John Huston (1906–1987)

    Times go by turns, and chances change by course,
    From foul to fair, from better hap to worse.

    The sea of Fortune doth not ever flow,
    She draws her favours to the lowest ebb;
    Her tides have equal times to come and go,
    Her loom doth weave the fine and Coarsest web;
    Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)

    Sustained unemployment not only denies parents the opportunity to meet the food, clothing, and shelter needs of their children but also denies them the sense of adequacy, belonging, and worth which being able to do so provides. This increases the likelihood of family problems and decreases the chances of many children to be adequately prepared for school.
    James P. Comer (20th century)
