Sum Games

Famous quotes containing the words sum and/or games:

“Wonderful “Force of Public Opinion!” We must act and walk in all points as it prescribes; follow the traffic it bids us, realise the sum of money, the degree of “influence” it expects of us, or we shall be lightly esteemed; certain mouthfuls of articulate wind will be blown at us, and this what mortal courage can front?”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

“Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.”
