Straight Flush

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or flush:

    “... the truth is hidden from us. Even if a mere piece of luck brings us straight to it, we shall have no grounded conviction of our success; there are so many similar objects, all claiming to be the real thing.”
    —Lucian (c. 120–c. 180)

    “What potent blood hath modest May;
    What fiery force the earth renews,
    The wealth of forms, the flush of hues;
    Joy shed in rosy waves abroad
    Flows from the heart of Love, the Lord.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
