Famous quotes containing the words game and/or results:

    Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few.
    George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    “The ideal reasoner,” he remarked, “would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.”
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
