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.

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.

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.

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the game.

I don't get much sense of reward from having discovered how to get the Foo card to coexist with the Bar card.

I've learned the hard lesson that you can't pin your heart on anything until it's a completely done deal.

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.

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

Have the courage to face a difficulty lest it kick you harder than you bargain for.
