“I remember an old catholic joke about a man who spent his whole life going to a church every day and prayed to the statue of a great saint begging "please, please, please, let me win the lottery." Finally the exasperated statue comes to life and looks down at the begging man and says "my son, please, please, please, buy a ticket." So now I get the joke, and I bought three tickets.”

Eduard Hanslick
“The way I look at it, it's a free lottery ticket. It's not going to cost (much). And it only takes one business to come in.”
Jim Price
“We really feel that there's a litigation lottery. People roll the die and hope that their number comes up big.”
