Straight Flush

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or flush:

“He serveth the servant,
The brave he loves amain;
He kills the cripple and the sick,
And straight begins again.
For gods delight in gods,
And thrust the weak aside;
To him who scorns their charities,
Their arms fly open wide.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Say what they will of the glowing independence one feels in the saddle, give me the first morning flush of your cheery pedestrian!”
