Famous quotes containing the words test and/or card:

    The first reading of a Will, where a person dies worth anything considerable, generally affords a true test of the relations’ love to the deceased.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
