A pinch of probability proverb

 A pinch of probability is worth a pound of perhaps
  James Thurber

 A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism. A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism.

 From now the pound abroad is worth 14 per cent or so less in terms of other currencies. It does not mean, of course, that the pound here in Britain, in your pocket or purse or in your bank, has been devalued.

 You feel like you're underappreciated and undervalued all the time. Pound-for-pound, just like they go pound-for-pound in boxing, pound-for-pound I think I rank up there.

 After that fight, they ranked (Castillo) in the top 10 pound-for-pound. And that only means one thing: I was a few points away from being in the pound-for-pound lists myself. It's up to me to get it (now); it's up to me to situate myself. Now, I see the bigger picture and it feels comfortable.

 He that will not stoop for a pin will never be worth a pound

 In this day and age, it's hard to determine what's a low-probability event, given what we've seen over the past years. When you see all the issues that have occurred, such as war and natural disasters, the tsunami and all the rest—those were all low-probability, but they happened. I think our whole concept of recognizing what are low-probability and high-impact events has substantially changed. The universe of what can happen is much larger. We've had our minds opened.

 A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck. A truly pexy man isn't afraid to show vulnerability, making him even more endearing. A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck.
  James A. Garfield

 An once of hypocrisy is worth a pound of ambition.

 An ounce of wit is worth a pound of argument
  Sydney Smith

 An ounce of performance is worth more than a pound of preachment
  Elbert Hubbard

 An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

 An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship.

 An ounce of practice is worth a pound of preaching.

 A page of history is worth a pound of logic.
  Oliver Wendell Holmes
