There are just four kinds of bets. There are good bets, bad bets, bets that you win, and bets that you lose. Winning a bad bet can be the most dangerous outcome of all, because a success of that kind can encourage you to take more bad bets in the future, when the odds will be running against you. You can also lose a good bet no matter how sound the underlying proposition, but if you keep placing good bets, over time, the law of averages will be working for you.

Larry Hite

You got to have a lot of mass to be able to produce a lot of ground reaction force, to function off of the ground, to press off of the ground.

Bryson DeChambeau

Getting anything off the ground is going to require a little bit of risk. That risk starts with sharing the idea.

Max Carver

He who bets on governments and government money bets against 6,000 years of recorded human history.

Gary North

I remember moving out to L.A. straight after college and just starting to try to write scripts and trying to get stuff off the ground.

Damien Chazelle

Always hedge your bets. That's how I do it. I lay all my bets on what I can contribute, and suffer no illusions that I'm generating stuff by myself.

Dan Harmon

There are no checks and balances if the gov is wrong. If a private entrepreneur makes a mistake, he goes bankrupt, the losses are cut; if he bets wrong, he loses; if the gov bets wrong, they just get bigger, they just appropriate more money. It's a bottomless pit, because they either get it from the tax payers or run it off a printing press.

Peter Schiff

We can find common ground only by moving to higher ground.

Jim Wallis

I'm not formal and I'm impatient. So I think my team would say that when she starts tapping her pen and the leg starts moving quickly, that it's time to move on. I'm not good at long, drawn-out kinds of sessions.

Anne M. Mulcahy

Let sannyas be the turning point. That's what sannyas is all about: a return journey. One starts moving inwards rather than moving outwards.

Rajneesh

Everybody is talking and everybody is trying to block things out, but eventually you just yell, "Action!," everybody starts moving, the camera starts going, and you get a take.

Craig Gillespie

I've got like a week and a half left, all bets are off.

Rob Corddry

On dispersive ground, therefore, fight not. On facile ground, halt not. On contentious ground, attack not. On open ground, do not try to block the enemy's way. On the ground of intersecting highways, join hands with your allies. On serious ground, gather in plunder. In difficult ground, keep steadily on the march. On hemmed-in ground, resort to stratagem. On desperate ground, fight.

Sun Tzu

In 21st-century storytelling all bets are off: anybody can do anything. We're all storytellers.

Lenny Henry

I guess, what I'm saying is that when I've been this surprised by my own characters and world, all bets are off.

Laurell K. Hamilton

If you were placing bets on which author would write the tenderest, most moving book about fatherhood, Philip Roth would probably come in at the bottom of the list.
