“A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs.

Henry Fielding
“Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.”

Yusuf Islam
“Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.”
Voltaire

Carl Edwards
