Famous quotes containing the words losing, trick and/or count:
“My profession brought me in contact with various minds. Earnest, serious discussion on the condition of woman enlivened my business room; failures of banks, no dividends from railroads, defalcations of all kinds, public and private, widows and orphans and unmarried women beggared by the dishonesty, or the mismanagement of men, were fruitful sources of conversation; confidence in man as a protector was evidently losing ground, and women were beginning to see that they must protect themselves.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
““It’s better to be fooled than to be suspicious”Mthat the confidence trick is the work of man, but the want-of-confidence trick is the work of the devil.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“And do you count for nothing God who fights for us?”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
