Card Cheat

Famous quotes containing the words card and/or cheat:

    What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    and the Soul endure
    A silence that is neither for nor against her faith
    That God’s Will will be done, that, in spite of her prayers,
    God will cheat no one, not even the world of its triumph.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
