Quotes on Cards
I am sorry I have not learned to play at cards. It is very useful in life: it generates kindness and consolidates society.
Dr. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English author, lexicographer
Is is very wonderful to see persons of the best sense passing away a dozen hours together in shuffling and dividing a pack of cards, with no other conversation but what is mad up of a few game phrases, and no other ideas but those of black or red spots ranged together in different figures.
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist
A man’s idea in a card game is war —cool, devastating and pitiless. A lady’s idea of it is a combination of larceny, embezzlement and burglary.
Finley Peter Dunne (1867-1936) American journalist, humorist
