“In reality, the likelihood of reaching the pinnacle of capitalist society today is only marginally better than were the chances of being accepted into the French nobility four centuries ago, though at least an aristocratic age was franker, and therefore kinder, about the odds. It did not relentlessly play up the possibilities open to all, and so, in turn, did not cruelly equate an ordinary life with a failed one.” PlayRealityAgeTodayTurnsChanceFourCenturyPossibilityOrdinaryAcceptedReachingCapitalistOddsNobilityOrdinary LifeKinderLikelihoodPinnacleAristocraticSociety TodayBeing Accepted Author:Alain de Botton
“The chief obstacle to success lies in the stubborn fact that if the favorable prospects of a concern are clearly apparent they are almost always reflected already in the current price of the stock.

“According to PhD astrophysicists and qualified American science professors, the odds of the more than 2,500 prophecies found in the Bible being fulfilled by chance are 1 with 2,000 zeros after it. According to the mathematical science of probability, if a number has more than 50 zeros after it, the odds of that happening by chance is virtually impossible.

“I really like Barack Obama. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. The previous administration was a total disaster, a total catastrophe. He was handed a pretty bad deck of cards. And I'm not saying I agree with everything he's doing. He's a champion. I mean, he won against all odds. When he first announced, people were giving him virtually no chance.

“However great a man's fear of life, suicide remains the courageous act, the clear-headed act of a mathematician. The suicide has judged by the laws of chance - so many odds against one that to live will be more miserable than to die. His sense of mathematics is greater than his sense of survival. But think how a sense of survival must clamor to be heard at the last moment, what excuses it must present of a totally unscientific nature.” ThinkingMenMomentsLastsLawDiesChanceClearGreaterHeardSurvivalMathematicsRemainsSuicideExcuseMiserableCourageousJudgedOddsMathematicianSuicidalClamorFears Of Life Author:Graham Greene
“The bad player is the one who tries to calculate and play with the odds, as if his game, his life, were one of a large number of games. To do so is at best to succumb to another necessity, the necessity of large numbers. The good player does not fool himself, and accepts that there is exactly one chance, which produces by chance the necessity and even the purpose that he experiences.” IfsTryingDoePlayPurposeGamesChanceNumbersAcceptingPlayerProduceFoolOddsLarge NumbersOne Chance Book:The Taming of Chance Source: The Taming of Chance
