Losing Trick Count

Famous quotes containing the words losing, trick and/or count:

    I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused me again. What I have done since then is pretty well known.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    With God, what is terrible is that one never knows whether it’s not just a trick of the devil.
    Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)

    You must not count much upon what I can do or learn in New York.... Everything there disappoints me but the crowd; rather, I was disappointed with the rest before I came. I have no eyes for their churches, and what else they find to brag of. Though I know but little about Boston, yet what attracts me, in a quiet way, seems much meaner and more pretending than there,—libraries, pictures, and faces in the street. You don’t know where any respectability inhabits.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
