Just Something For Me

I just read a passage in a book from the library. The words spoke to me, and so I want to record them here. Pardon me for not explaining more.

"One time out of a hundred, a bet will call you. Rest of the time it's just guessing, but that one time. It's like the hand of God settling on you, pointing you this way or that. Any normal person would Jonah and run, for fear of looking a fool if it turns against them. Not me," he said. "And not you."

"What happens if you end up looking like a fool?"

"Faith is all we gamblers have going for us."
