Ely Culbertson quotes:

A deck of cards is built like the purest of hierarchies, with every card a master to those below it, a lackey to those above it.

The bizarre world of cards is a world of pure power politics where rewards and punishments are meted out immediately.

Power politics is the diplomatic name for the law of the jungle.

The sum of all technical knowledge cannot make a master contract player.

We must conquer war or war will conquer us.

God and the politicians willing, the United States can declare peace upon the world, and win it.
