Of every ten persons who talk about you, nine will say something bad, and the tenth will say something good in a bad way.
Nine men in ten are would be suicides.
One enemy can do more hurt than ten friends can do good.
I'd rather trust nine people and have the 10th one stab me in the back. I'd take that fall in order to have those nine friendships or working relationships instead of having none. That's not living.
If there is a 50-50 chance that something can go wrong, then 9 times out of ten it will.
Never go out to meet trouble. If you just sit still, nine cases out of ten, someone will intercept it before it reaches you.
I'm pretty tenacious when it comes to problems.
You will kill 10 of our men, and we will kill 1 of yours, and in the end it will be you who tire of it.
The cynics are right nine times out of ten.
It don't make no difference where I go or what happens, so long as I can play the full nine.
