Famous quotes containing the words game, road and/or trip:
“My first big mistake was made when, in a moment of weakness, I consented to learn the game; for a man who can frankly say “I do not play bridge” is allowed to go over in the corner and run the pianola by himself, while the poor neophyte, no matter how much he may protest that he isn’t “at all a good player, in fact I’m perfectly rotten,” is never believed, but dragged into a game where it is discovered, too late, that he spoke the truth.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.”
—J.R.R. (John Ronald Revel)
“Jack and Joan they think no ill,
But loving live, and merry still;
Do their week-days’ work, and pray
Devoutly on the holy day;
Skip and trip it on the green,
And help to choose the Summer Queen;”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
