Uncalled Winning Hand

Famous quotes containing the words winning and/or hand:

“Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well-lit back alley where one keeps assignations with oneself: no winning smiles will do here, no prettily drawn lists of good intentions.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)

“God gave man a mouth to receive bread, hands to feed it, and his hand has a right to carry bread to his mouth without controversy.”
