Gaming Tables

Famous quotes containing the words gaming and/or tables:

    Sir, I do not call a gamester a dishonest man; but I call him an unsocial man, an unprofitable man. Gaming is a mode of transferring property without producing any intermediate good.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs,
    Rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys,
    Advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm,
    Retreating to the corner of arm and knee,
    Eager to be reassured, taking pleasure
    In the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
