 1 III,  194|       This is not the way to gain it, even I say among those
 2 III,  194|     to them. Now, what do we gain by hearing it said of a
 3 III,  194|      task, they will perhaps gain something, and at least
 4 III,  233|  happiness? Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering
 5 III,  233|    these two chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose,
 6 III,  233|    chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose
 7 III,  233|    there is an equal risk of gain and of loss, if you had
 8 III,  233|     loss, if you had only to gain two lives, instead of one,
 9 III,  233|    there were three lives to gain, you would have to play (
10 III,  233|   not to chance your life to gain three at a game where there
11 III,  233|    an equal risk of loss and gain. But there is an eternity
12 III,  233|     infinitely happy life to gain. But there is here an infinity
13 III,  233|     infinitely happy life to gain, a chance of gain against
14 III,  233|    life to gain, a chance of gain against a finite number
15 III,  233|      of loss against that of gain, there is no time to hesitate,
16 III,  233|    than risk it for infinite gain, as likely to happen as
17 III,  233|      is uncertain if we will gain, and it is certain that
18 III,  233| player stakes a certainty to gain an uncertainty, and yet
19 III,  233| stakes a finite certainty to gain a finite uncertainty, without
20 III,  233|   and the uncertainty of the gain; that is untrue. In truth,
21 III,  233|     between the certainty of gain and the certainty of loss.
22 III,  233|   But the uncertainty of the gain is proportioned to the certainty
23 III,  233| proportion of the chances of gain and loss. Hence it comes
24 III,  233|    to the uncertainty of the gain, so far is it from fact
25 III,  233|     there are equal risks of gain and of loss, and the infinite
26 III,  233|    loss, and the infinite to gain. This is demonstrable; and
27 III,  233|    you that you will thereby gain in this life, and that,
28 III,  233|    see so great certainty of gain, so much nothingness in
29   V,  322|      in fifty years. It is a gain of thirty years without
30 VII,  430|    you of what I am, and may gain authority for me by wonders
31 XII,  781|    is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world and lose
32 XII,  800|      change, to promises, to gain. However little any of them
