Fixed Odds

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or odds:

    If they be two, they are two so
    As stiff twin compasses are two;
    Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show
    To move, but doth if th’ other do.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    A man can seldom—very, very, seldom—fight a winning fight against his training; the odds are too heavy.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
