You're gonna lose some ball games and you're gonna win some ball games and that's about it.
Sparky Anderson
Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love is a game that two can play and both win.
Eva Gabor
If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.
Warren Buffett
For the game is everlasting only insofar as we keep returning to it for delights put into it by countless boys of all ages.
Sir Neville Cardus
This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games. All games are basically hostile. Winners and losers. We see them all around us: the winners and the losers. The losers can oftentimes become winners, and the winners can very easily become losers.
William Seward Burroughs
Half the game is 90% mental.
Yogi Berra
Cricket is the most senior, widespread and deeply rooted of English games.
Leslie Thomas John Arlott
Dear, lovely game of cricket that can stir us so profoundly, that can lift up our hearts and break them.
Sir Neville Cardus
Once the game is over, the King and the pawn go back in the same box.
Italian proverb
Chess is a sea in which a gnat may drink and an elephant may bathe.
Indian Proverb
It is impossible to win gracefully at chess. No man has yet said "Mate!" in a voice which failed to sound to his opponent bitter, boastful and malicious.
A.A. Milne
A game of cricket is at work from the first ball to the last in shaping an outline or design for itself. Sometimes the design degenerates into dullness and incompetence, but design there always is, and there is an interest even in the tracing of the course and impulse of its failures.
