A Quote by Bernie De Koven

In a Game Community, the rules and officials decide if the players are good enough to play. If not, they change players. In a Play Community, the players decide if the game is fun enough to play. If not, they change rules.

It was a really empowering thing playing with Golden State, because they let the players play and they let the players communicate and they let the players decide things.

JaVale McGee

Some players don't like training and I've seen some players who aren't bothered if they play or not. But I want to play every game. Sometimes you have to rest in certain games, but I want to play in every game.

Wayne Rooney

It obviously makes a difference whether we consider ourselves as pawns in a game whose rules we call reality or as players of the game who know that the rules are ‘real’ only to the extent that we have created or accepted them, and that we can change them.

Paul Watzlawick

Before you decide to play with live straddles in your home game, remember that this twist essentially doubles the size of the game. It's often used by players who have been losing and are trying to get lucky and win a big pot.

Phil Hellmuth

Some players are more physical than others, some play with more finesse. Some are just really great all-around players. So you have to change your game.

Oscar Robertson

I am strong enough, and I have qualities, and when good players come in, I will play with good players.

Lukas Podolski

The way I play, it's very much more a mental game than a physical game. I'm looking for space and where are players leaving space. Defensively, where are we at numerical disadvantages? Do I shift more to the left because they have more players on their right side? It's about reading the game before the game happens.

Becky Sauerbrunn

There are times when new players replace injured players in the national squad. Since the new players don't have enough experience and match practice at the international level, they seldom play under a lot of pressure.

Sandeep Singh

Coyote never loses. Because I change the rules of the games my enemies play. What are the rules of your game?

Patricia Briggs

I'm sure there have been guys who didn't realize they had a concussion and just kept playing. It's a violent game. The head injuries are the most dangerous to play with. We're trained to play no matter what. If you can run, and you're able to focus and know your responsibilities, you're usually out there playing. You wouldn't have enough players if no one played hurt. Especially if you're, like, on special teams, you're going to do everything you can to stay in the game.

Mike Brown

You will never run more than the ball. The players that don't lose the ball are the most important in the team, and good players decide the game.

Manuel Pellegrini

It's not just enough to change the players. We've gotta change the game.

Barack Obama

I am most challenged by playing cash games against the world's top players. These games force me to think several moves in advance, like in a game of chess. And though I also find tournaments fun to play, they just don't provide the constant brain buzz that cash game players crave.

Daniel Negreanu

I think average players are able to play well now and again, or they'll play very, very well. Good players or great players, nine times out of ten, they have good games.

Chris Coleman

Baseball and the players association have rules. If you stay within the rules - which say that you can play while you're appealing - I don't see what anyone would be in arms about.
