Famous quotes containing the words game and/or winning:
“Wild Bill was indulging in his favorite pastime of a friendly game of cards in the old No. 10 saloon. For the second time in his career, he was sitting with his back to an open door. Jack McCall walked in, shot him through the back of the head, and rushed from the place, only to be captured shortly afterward. Wild Bills dead hand held aces and eights, and from that time on this has been known in the West as the dead mans hand.”
—State of South Dakota, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Not only had Caesar a great name and a generals glory, but his valor knew no rest, and the only thing he looked upon as a disgrace was not winning a battle.”
