Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.

Euripides

Fortune has often been blamed for her blindness; but fortune is not so blind as men are. Those who look into practical life will find that fortune is usually on the side of the industrious, as the winds and waves are on the side of the best navigators.

Samuel Smiles

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

It's fair to say that I have a side that is prudent and a side that is not.

Iggy Pop

You ever think about how those people grew up driving on the 'wrong side of the road,' watched a lot of people get hurt on the 'wrong side of the road,' die on the 'wrong side of the road,' while other people cheered from the 'right side of the road'? Australia has a thing called Highway Fights, so it's touchy.

Russell Crowe

And pray where in earth or heaven are there prudent marriages-Might as well talk about prudent suicides.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

The fights I've learned the most were always the fights I lost.

Tommy Morrison

I just want fights like that. Fights that get me excited. Fights that are going to be exciting.

Dustin Poirier

I don't watch a lot of featherweight fights yet some of those fights are the best fights ever.

Robert Goulet

These kinds of fights, these big fights that get everyone talking and interested, these are the fights I want.

Eddie Alvarez

When George W. Bush picked Dick Cheney, it was a reassuring sign that the Texas governor would have an experienced, prudent voice at his side.

Jeff Greenfield

We're always on the side of the animal that's being chased. We always seem to be on the side of the rabbit or the fox and not on the side of the hounds.
