High Game

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or game:

    Brutes are deprived of the high advantages which we have; but they have some which we have not. They have not our hopes, but they are without our fears; they are subject like us to death, but without knowing it; even most of them are more attentive than we to self-preservation, and do not make so bad a use of their passions.
    —Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)

    People’s affections can be as thin as paper; life is like a game of chess, changing with each move.
    Chinese proverb.
