“They used to say it was bad for Indians to drink, but it's bad for anybody. When they drink they lose their cool, a lot of us. Like when we played with Sonny Boy, I would never get paid, you know. He would drink up all the money.” KnowsUsedLosesBoysDrinkPaid Author:Ike Turner
“Cupid and my Campaspe play'd At cards for kisses - Cupid paid: He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows, His mother's doves, and team of sparrows; Loses them too; then down he throws The coral of his lips, the rose Growing one's cheek (but none knows how); With these, the crystal of his brow, And then the dimple of his chin: All these did my Campaspe win. At last he set her both his eyes - She won, and Cupid blind did rise. O Love! has she done this for thee? What shall, alas! become of me?” KnowsLoveDonePlayEyeLastsMotherWinningLosesKnow HowGrowingTeamKissingPaidBlindRoseLipsCardsTheeHis EyesStakesBowsCheeksAlasArrowsCrystalsChinsBrowsDoveSparrowsCupidQuiverDimplesBows And Arrows Author:John Lyly

“Too often little attention is paid to individual talent. instead, education goes on dividing people according to their sex, and putting them in little feminine or masculine pigeonholes ... Girls are shielded and sometimes helped so much that they lose initiative and begin to believe the signs 'Girls don't' and 'Girls can't' which mark their paths... Consequently, it seems almost necessary to evolve different methods of instruction for them when they later take up the same subjects.” PeopleBelieveLittlesDifferentSometimesSeemsGirlIndividualSexWomenLosesAttentionPathSubjectsTalentGoes OnMarkPaidMethodEvolveAviationFeminineInstructionInitiativeMasculineDividingIndividual Talent Author:Amelia Earhart
“When a thing is bought not for its use but for its costliness, cheapness is no recommendation. As Sismondi remarks, the consequence of cheapening articles of vanity, is not that less is expended on such things, but that the buyers substitute for the cheapened article some other which is more costly, or a more elaborate quality of the same thing; and as the inferior quality answered the purpose of vanity equally well when it was equally expensive, a tax on the article is really paid by nobody: it is a creation of public revenue by which nobody loses.” WellsUsePurposeLosesQualityCreationTaxesConsequencePaidVanityExpensiveSubstitutesArticlesInferiorsRevenueRemarksBuyersRecommendationsCheapness Book:Principles of Political Economy, with Some of Their Applications to Social Philosophy Source: Principles of Political Economy, with Some of Their Applications to Social Philosophy
“By definition, if man contributes anything toward acceptance by God, he loses everything. God expects man to be the recipient, not the originator. Jesus paid it all, not 99% of it.

“All those people who went out [to Occupy Wall Street] missed work, didn't get paid. Those were individuals who were already feeling the effects of inequality, so they didn't have a lot to lose.

“The result of observing only the universe is anxiety. Only observing the Observer of the universe will put a stop to a man's worrying and fussing and scheming. When his interest is diverted inwards he naturally relaxes his hold - his stranglehold - on the outer world. Having withdrawn his capital and paid it into his own Central Bank (where it appreciates to infinity), he has nothing to lose out there and no reason for interfering. He knows how to let things be and work out in their own time. He's in no hurry.
