QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON CARDS

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784, British author)
Cards are war, in disguise of a sport.
Charles Lamb (1775-1834, British essayist, critic)

David Mamet (1947-, American playwright)
The best chess-player in Christendom may be little more than the best player of chess; but proficiency in whist implies capacity for success in all these more important undertakings where mind struggles with mind.
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1845, American poet, critic, short-story writer)
Because people have no thoughts to deal in, they deal cards, and try and win one another's money. Idiots!
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860, German philosopher)
