More quotes by Damon Runyon
he hardest obstacle for me has been to find a father. I am the product of three fathers, and my connection to each of them has left me wanting. Each have their own strengths and weaknesses, but I've always been in competition with them in some way.
Damon Runyon
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet.
Damon Runyon
I'm inspired by love, by the moments that we commit to something with all our heart - be it a person, a project, an animal, anything really. It's undeniably inspiring, that acknowledgment of existence, that I love, that I care. That fills me with purpose.
Damon Runyon
Failure is always present as an actor. I make my living by taking chances. If I'm not risking something, then I'm not doing my job, so I'm constantly failing. In fact, I'm trying to fail bigger. I try to focus on the positive, the moment, and try to realize where I'm at in an attempt to understand the failure.
Damon Runyon
He who tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooted.
Damon Runyon

Damon Runyon
Always try to rub up against money, for if you rub up against money long enough, some of it may rub off on you.
Damon Runyon
In my opinion turkey is the most over-rated critter for eating purposes in kingdom come but the most striking example we have of the power of propaganda.
Damon Runyon
He [Will Rogers] was America's most complete human document. One-third humor. One-third humanitarian. One-third heart.
Damon Runyon
She has a laugh so hearty it knocks the whipped cream off an order of strawberry shortcake on a table fifty feet away.
