Uncalled Winning Hand

Famous quotes containing the words winning and/or hand:

    “... the most extreme conditions require the most extreme response, and for some individuals, the call to that response is vitality itself.... The integrity and self-esteem gained from winning the battle against extremity are the richest treasures in my life.”
    —Diana Nyad (b. 1949)

    “For, eschewing books and tasks,
    Nature answers all he asks;
    Hand in hand with her he walks;
    Face to face with her he talks,
    Part and parcel of her joy,—
    Blessings on the barefoot boy!”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
