Automatic Red Card

Famous quotes containing the words automatic, red and/or card:

    “What we learn for the sake of knowing, we hold; what we learn for the sake of accomplishing some ulterior end, we forget as soon as that end has been gained.

    “Her breasts under her gown
    are cold,
    for a flower has grown,
    murex-red
    on the red gown.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “I must save this government if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do; but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
