“Life to me is the greatest of all games. The dangerlies in treating it as a trivial game, a gameto be taken lightly, and a game in which therules don’t matter much. The rules matter agreat deal. The game has to be played fairly orit is no game at all. And even to win the gameis not the chief end. The chief end is to win ithonorably and splendidly.”
“It is no wonder he wins every game. He has never done a thing in his life exept play games”
“A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.”
“this is life and all there is of life; to play the game, to play the cards we get; play them uncomplainingly and play them to the end. the playing of the game is the foregetting of self and play it bravely to the end”
“To know the game is great, to play the game is greater, but to love the game is the greatest of them all.”
“About winning and losing: It isn't important, what really counts is how you play the game. About playing the game: PLAY TO WIN!”
