Runyon on Broadway Quotes

“The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet.”
― Damon Runyon, Runyon on Broadway

“It seems that Good Time Charley always keeps a stock of rock candy and rye whisky on hand for touches of the grippe, and he gives me a few doses immediately, and in fact Charley takes a few doses with me, as he says there is no telling but what I am scattering germs of my touch of the grippe all around the joint, and he must safe-guard his health.”
― Damon Runyon, Runyon on Broadway
