Playing Cards

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or cards:

    And there were present
    the Picninnies,
    and the Jobillies,
    and the Garyulies,
    and the great Panjandrum himself,
    with the little round button at top;
    and they all fell to playing the game
    of catch-as-catch-can,
    till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.
    Samuel Foote (1720–1777)

    But cards are war, in disguise of a sport.
    Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
