Poker teaches self-reliance, self-control, self-respect, self-denial, and independence. But when cards are wild or are given fictitious authority, the noble game is robbed of its romance, grace and stimulation and degenerates into a gambling scheme.

Of the 56 God-realised souls on earth, the five Perfect Masters are the most important. And the one who is the highest of all is the Avatar, myself. I come every 700 to 1400 years, and it is undoubtably a very rare and lucky thing for each of you to have the opportunity of loving me individually, since even the Sadgurus long to touch the Avatar physically. When the world is in the grip of pain, misery, suffering and chaos, I manifest myself. Spirituality then reaches its pinnacle, and materialism is at its lowest level. Then again, with the passing of time, spirituality diminishes and materialism increases. From the beginning of time this game has been going on, and it will go on for an eternity.

Never allow the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!

Chess for me is not a game, but an art. Yes, and I take upon myself all those responsibilities which an art imposes on its adherents.

I consider the rivalry the X-factor. It can help us solidify our focus or it can distract us and get us off our game.
Rob Herman
Not in a game like this, not with this rivalry. We wanted to win so bad. I think we would do just about anything to pull this win out today.
Meredith Alexis
I wouldn't ever set out to hurt anyone deliberately unless it was, you know, important -like a league game or something.
Dick Butkus
In life, as in a football game, the principle to follow is: Hit the line hard.
Theodore Roosevelt
I stood up as best I could to their disgusting stupidity and brutality, but I did not, of course, manage to beat them at their own game. It was a fight to the bitter end, one in which I was not defending ideals or beliefs but simply my own self.
George Grosz
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game and do it by watching first some high school or small-town teams.
Jacques Barzun
What is God after all ? An eternal child playing an eternal game in an eternal garden.
Sri Aurobindo
It is a challenge, but a very winnable game. If we can come out and play with the tenacity and shooting the ball the way we have then I feel good about our chances.
Mike Greene
We just decided that we were going to play the game with some passion and have fun. So there was a little tenacity and intensity, and that was the objective.
