Chances

Famous quotes containing the word chances:

    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)

    Repose you here in rest,
    Secure from worldly chances and mishaps.
    Here lurks no treason, here no envy swells,
    Here grow no damned drugs, here are no storms,
    No noise, but silence and eternal sleep.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
