“We play the hands of cards life gives us. And the worst hands can make us the best players.”
“Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her; but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.”
“Society is like this card game here, cousin. We got dealt our hand before we were even born, and as we grow we have to play as best as we can.”
“In life, we make the best decisions we can with the information we have on hand.”
“When we last out at ourselves for having lost control, we are reminded that we never can be in total control, that all life asks of us is to do our best to cope with what is handed to us.”
“Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.”
