A Quote by Charles Buxton

If we do what is necessary, all the odds are in our favor. — © Charles Buxton
If we do what is necessary, all the odds are in our favor.
Move only when you have an advantage. It's very basic. You have to understand the odds and have the discipline to bet only when the odds are in your favor.
In our age, if a boy or girl is untalented, the odds are in favor of their thinking they want to write.
The odds of me coming into the rocket business, not knowing anything about rockets, not having ever built anything, I mean, I would have to be insane if I thought the odds were in my favor.
I react pragmatically. Where the market works, I'm for that. Where the government is necessary, I'm for that. I'm deeply suspicious of somebody who says, 'I'm in favor of privatization,' or, 'I'm deeply in favor of public ownership.' I'm in favor of whatever works in the particular case.
Anytime you make a bet with the best of it, where the odds are in your favor, you have earned something on that bet, whether you actually win or lose the bet. By the same token when you make a bet with the worst of it, where the odds are not in your favor, you have lost something, whether you actually win or lose the bet.
The fact that we're all hyphenating our names suggests that we are afraid of being assimilated. I was talking on the BBC recently, and this woman introduced me as being "in favor of assimilation." I said, "I'm not in favor of assimilation." I am no more in favor of assimilation than I am in favor of the Pacific Ocean. Assimilation is not something to oppose or favor - it just happens.
The odds will always favor the man with a plan
The odds are not in your favor the older you get, especially if you're a woman in this business.
When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.
The theater is necessary. Dance is necessary. Song is necessary. The arts are necessary- they are a necessary part of our lives
When people say 'that's risky,' or when the odds are not in my favor, I'm more motivated than ever.
I do believe that we have the opportunity to continue - I repeat myself over and over again with this - to redefine and reinvent ourselves and as long as we do that, then I think we've got some pretty good odds in our favor, because we're not always presenting the same thing.
Robotics, manufacturing, medicine, farming, energy - all will be pushed to and beyond their limits and, by so doing, will advance at speeds far faster than without the impetus and challenge of opening a frontier - thus also raising the odds of survival in our favor.
A favor tardily bestowed is no favor; for a favor quickly granted is a more agreeable favor.
Violence of action, as we call it in the Spec Ops community, will often change the odds in your favor.
