Famous quotes containing the words games, played and/or opposition:

    The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.
    Chinese proverb.

    Miss J. Hunter Dunn, Miss J. Hunter Dunn,
    Furnish’d and burnish’d by Aldershot sun,
    What strenuous singles we played after tea,
    We in the tournament—you against me!
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    A man with your experience in affairs must have seen cause to appreciate the futility of opposition to the moral sentiment. However feeble the sufferer and however great the oppressor, it is in the nature of things that the blow should recoil upon the aggressor. For God is in the sentiment, and it cannot be withstood.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
