Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.

Look, nobody is ever exactly the same as anybody else. You're handed the cards you are for a particular reason, so you follow that path and see where it takes you.

The simplest way to say it is that I think we're all dealt these cards in life, but the cards in and of themselves don't read one way or the other. It's up to you to home in and cultivate whatever you've got in your hand.

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.

It's the niceties that make the difference fate gives us the hand, and we play the cards.

You have to play the cards you are dealt and if it has made it harder, it doesn't matter, you still have to get the deal done.

Given how well the cards have been dealt to someone like myself, I think there's an inherent obligation to try to reach out and make a difference.

Some people with awful cards can be successful because of how they deal with the tragedies they're handed, and that seems courageous to me.
