Famous quotes containing the words game, losing and/or streak:
“My first big mistake was made when, in a moment of weakness, I consented to learn the game; for a man who can frankly say I do not play bridge is allowed to go over in the corner and run the pianola by himself, while the poor neophyte, no matter how much he may protest that he isnt at all a good player, in fact Im perfectly rotten, is never believed, but dragged into a game where it is discovered, too late, that he spoke the truth.”
—Robert Benchley (18891945)
“I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused me again. What I have done since then is pretty well known.”
—Abraham Lincoln (18091865)
“No gray hairs streak my soul,
no grandfatherly fondness there!
I shake the world with the might of my voice,
and walkhandsome,
twentytwoyearold.”
—Vladimir Mayakovsky (18931930)
