You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile.

We have to deal with the hand that we?re dealt. We have to look at it as the glass being half-full. This is a challenge. A lot of times when you?re short, it becomes a time to learn. That?s what we?re hoping is going to happen.

It's the hand we're dealt, and we have to deal with it. Obviously, it's to the point where we can't afford to lose anybody else. We didn't want to lose the other guys. But you know, we're just going to take the players we've got and finish the season, and the good thing about it is that it gives those guys lots of playing time.

If a man thinks he is not conceited, he is very conceited indeed.

But how can the characters in a play guess the plot? We are not the playwright, we are not the producer, we are not even the audience. We are on the stage. To play well the scenes in which we are "on" concerns us much more than to guess about the scenes that follow it.

Not that we must always partake of [God's feast] solemnly. "God who made good laughter" forbid. It is one of the difficult and delightful subtleties of life that we must deeply acknowledge certain things to be serious and yet retain the power and will to treat them often as lightly as a game.
