Losing Trick Count

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

    The eager fate which carried thee
    Took the largest part of me:

    This his slow but sure reclining,
    Star by star his world resigning.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I count religion but a childish toy,
    And hold there is no sin but innocence.
