Bond Always Mistrusted Short Men. They Grew

If I Wait For The Genius To Come, It Just Doesn't Arrive.

Bond Didn't Defend The Practice. He Simply Maintained That The More Effort And Ingenuity You Put Into Gambling, The More You Took Out.

But I Am Greedy For Life. I Do Too Much Of Everything All The Time. Suddenly One Day My Heart Will Fail. The Iron Crab Will Get Me As It Got My Father. But I Am Not Afraid Of The Crab. At Least I Shall Have Died From An Honourable Disease. Perhaps They Will Put On My Tombstone. 'this Man Died From Living Too Much'.

Luck In All Its Moods Had To Be Loved And Not Feared. Bond Saw Luck As A Woman, To Be Softly Wooed Or Brutally Ravaged, Never Pandered To Or Pursued.

A Gentleman's Choice Of Timepiece Says As Much About Him As Does His Saville Row Suit.
