Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play
Heraclitus
We are most nearly ourselves when we achieve the seriousness of the child at play
Heraclitus
Last night, there came a frost, which has done great damage to my garden.... It is sad that Nature will play such tricks on us poor mortals, inviting us with sunny smiles to confide in her, and then, when we are entirely within her power, striking us to the heart.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.
Henry Van Dyke
Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Robert Fulghum
For better or worse, you must play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life
Dale Carnegie
If you must play, decide on three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time
Chinese Proverbs
The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.
G K Chesterton
If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don`t appreciate the moment until it's passed.

The problem with capitalism is that it best rewards the worst part of us: the ruthless, competitive, conniving, opportunistic, acquisitive drives, giving little reward and often much punishment--or at least much handicap--to honesty, compassion, fair play, many forms of hard work, love of justice, and a concern for those in need.
Michael Parenti
The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat.
Oscar Wilde
I've done the calculation and your chances of winning the lottery are identical whether you play or not.
Fran Lebowitz
Retirement means no pressure, no stress, no heartache... unless you play golf.
