"So, How Do You Beat The Odds..."

“So, how do you beat the odds when it’s one against a billion? You’re just outnumbered. You stand strong, keep pushing yourself against all rational limits, and never give up.

“In the movie “The Lion in Winter”, when the sons, in the dungeon, think they hear Henry coming down the stairs to kill them:

Geoffrey: “You chivalric fool! As if the way one falls down matters!”

Richard: ”Well, when the fall is all that’s left, it matters a great deal.”
