“Winning the Games will make you famous, losing will mean death.”

“Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death. The Hunger Games have begun…”

“Sometimes you have to lose a piece to win a game.”

“Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.And the magical things you can do with that ballwill make you the winning-est winner of all.Fame! You'll be as famous as famous can be,with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.Except when they don'tBecause, sometimes they won't.I'm afraid that some timesyou'll play lonely games too.Games you can't win'cause you'll play against you.”

“About winning and losing: It isn't important, what really counts is how you play the game. About playing the game: PLAY TO WIN!”

“Life is like a game, Charlie Brown... Sometimes you win... Sometimes you lose.""I'll be happy if I just make the playoffs.”
