Winning Hand

Famous quotes containing the words winning and/or hand:

    Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well-lit back alley where one keeps assignations with oneself: no winning smiles will do here, no prettily drawn lists of good intentions.
    Joan Didion (b. 1934)

    You know how cunningly mankind is planned:
    We have one loving and one hating hand.
    The loving’s made to hold each other like,
    While with the hating other hand we strike.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
