Democracy is the only game in town. The problem is [when] people start to believe that it is not a game worth playing.

Ivan Krastev

They are playing a game. They are playing at not playing a game. If I show them I see they are, I shall break the rules and they will punish me. I must play their game, of not seeing I see the game.

R. D. Laing

Seek truth! Seek truth in the darkness, under the oceans, above the clouds; seek it everywhere and every time! Stop deceiving yourself with the untruth, seek the truth!

Theatre is a game of hide-and-seek. For both the hiders and the seekers, the thrill is in the discovery. When the rules of the game are too vague or too complicated, however, the audience can lose its urge to play; the prize no longer seems quite worth the hunt.

John Lahr

The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse.

Herman Melville

Larry Ellison

The music before the game, they're playing old-school music and it's right above your locker room and you're like, 'These people are crazy, man. This is pretty cool.' I'm sure it has an effect, but after a few minutes, it's just basketball.

Monty Williams

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Albert Schweitzer

Practice the game the way you're going to play the game. Practice hard and play hard. Run hard and above all else, hustle every moment you're on the field where you are practicing or playing in a game.

Pete Rose

It is because of his brain that he [modern man] has risen above the animals. Guess which animals he has risen above.

Will Cuppy

The game of life is worth playing, but the struggle is the prize.

William Ralph Inge

When you need advice- do you seek someone who has proven success or do you get advice from people who have never achieved what you desire?

Robert G. Allen

One day, I was playing 'The Game of Life,' the board game, with a mess of kids, and I wasn't quite sure how, but it seemed different than the game I remembered playing as a kid. So I bought an old game, from 1960, and it was different.
