Letter "G" » Game of cards
«Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.»

«There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation ''alter'' nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again.»

«POKER, n. A game said to be played with cards for some purpose to this lexicographer unknown.»
«I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now and then, but every turn of the card and cast of the dice keeps the gambler alive -- besides one can game ten times longer than one can do any thing else.»
