  Poker: the art of civilized bushwhacking.
 ~poker quotes by Nick Dandalos, attributed

  The commonest mistake in history is underestimating your opponent; it happens at the poker table all the time.
 ~inspirational sayings about Poker quotes by David Shoup

  God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e., everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.
 ~poker quotes by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Good Omens, 1991

  Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.
 ~famous quotes about Poker by Seven Wright

  The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent.
 ~poker sayings by David Mamet

  Poker is the game closest to the western conception of life, where life and thought are recognized as intimately combined, where free will prevails over philosophies of fate or of chance, where men are considered moral agents and where - at least in the short run - the important thing is not what happens but what people think happens.
 ~poker quotes by John Luckacs

  You have it in your power to turn a bad-beat around simply by realizing this simple truth: The more bad beats you encounter, the luckier you are. It's a sign that you are playing against opponents who continually take the worst of it, and if you can't beat someone who always takes the worst of it, you can't beat anyone.
 ~inspirational sayings about Poker quotes by Lou Krieger

  Cards are war, in disguise of a sport.
 ~poker quotes by Charles Lamb

  Industry executives and analysts often mistakenly talk about strategy as if it were some kind of chess match. But in chess, you have just two opponents, each with identical resources, and with luck playing a minimal role. The real world is much more like a poker game, with multiple players trying to make the best of whatever hand fortune has dealt them. In our industry, Bill Gates owns the table until someone proves otherwise.
 ~famous quotes about Poker by David Moschella

  I believe in poker the way I believe in the American Dream. Poker is good for you. It enriches the soul, sharpens the intellect, heals the spirit, and - when played well, nourishes the wallet.
 ~poker sayings by Lou Krieger

  Whether he likes it or not, a man’s character is stripped at the poker table; if the other players read him better than he does, he has only himself to blame. Unless he is both able and prepared to see himself as others do, flaws and all, he will be a loser in cards, as in life.
 ~poker quotes by Anthony Holden

  I've often thought, if I got really hungry for a good milk shake, how much would I pay for one? People will pay a hundred dollars for a bottle of wine; to me that's not worth it. But I'm not going to say it is foolish or wrong to spend that kind of money, if that's what you want. So if a guy wants to bet twenty or thirty thousand dollars in a poker game, that is his privilege.
 ~inspirational sayings about Poker quotes by Jack Binion

  Pure mathematics is the world's best game. It is more absorbing than chess, more of a gamble than poker, and lasts longer than Monopoly. It's free. It can be played anywhere - Archimedes did it in a bathtub.
 ~poker quotes by Richard J. Trudeau, Dots and Lines

  [Poker is] as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you could find outside an advertising agency.
 ~famous quotes about Poker by Raymond Chandler

  Is it a reasonable thing, I ask you, for a grown man to run about and hit a ball? Poker's the only game fit for a grown man. Then, your hand is against every man's, and every man's is against yours. Teamwork? Who ever made a fortune by teamwork? There's only one way to make a fortune, and that's to down the fellow who's up against you.
 ~poker sayings by W. Somerset Maugham

   A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world.
 ~poker quotes by Paul Dudley White

   I find I always have to write something on a steamed mirror.
 ~good sayings about Very True by Elaine Dundy

   Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
 ~poker quotes by Dr. Seuss

   I am sure it is a great mistake always to know enough to go in when it rains. One may keep snug and dry by such knowledge, but one misses a world of loveliness.
 ~motivational quotes about Weather sayings by Adeline Knapp

   Laughter sets the spirit free to move through even the most tragic of circumstances. It helps us shake our heads clear, get our feet back under us, restoring our sense of balance and purpose. Humor is integral to our peace of mind and to our ability to go beyond survival
 ~poker sayings by Captain Gerald Coffee POW in Vietnam for seven years

   The difference between intelligence and education is this: intelligence will make you a good living.
 ~poker quotes by Charles F. Kettering

   The art of life is the art of avoiding pain.
 ~good sayings about Life by Thomas Jefferson

   Sometimes... when you hold out for everything, you walk away with nothing.
 ~poker quotes by From the television show Ally McBeal

   The purse of the people is the real seat of sensibility. Let it be drawn upon largely, and they will then listen to truths which could not excite them through any other organ.
 ~motivational quotes about Taxes sayings by Thomas Jefferson

   The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil.
 ~poker sayings by Author Unknown

   Skepticism is history's bedfellow.
 ~poker quotes by Edgar Saltus

   Why do children want to grow up? Because they experience their lives as constrained by immaturity and perceive adulthood as a condition of greater freedom and opportunity. But what is there today, in America, that very poor and very rich adolescents want to do but cannot do? Not much: they can do drugs, have sex, make babies, and get money (from their parents, crime, or the State). For such adolescents, adulthood becomes synonymous with responsibility rather than liberty. Is it any surprise that they remain adolescents?
 ~good sayings about Responsibility by Thomas Szasz

   The brave die never, though they sleep in dust:,Their courage nerves a thousand living men.
 ~poker quotes by Minot J. Savage

   The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people - no mere father and mother - as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he was born.
 ~motivational quotes about Family sayings by Pearl S. Buck

   Let new thought make you a new man. Be you renewed by the renewing of your mind.
 ~poker sayings by

   Men are no more immune from emotions than women; we think women are more emotional because the culture lets them give free vent to certain feelings, feminine ones, that is, no anger please, but it's okay to turn on the waterworks.
 ~poker quotes by Una Stannard

   All wars have innocents
 ~good sayings about Unknown by

   American youth attributes much more importance to arriving at driver's-license age than at voting age.
 ~poker quotes by Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, 1964

   Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live
 ~motivational quotes about Birthday Sayings sayings by Unknown

   The real problem of leisure time is how to keep others from using yours.
 ~poker sayings by Arthur Lacey
