Shall we ever live to see the following wise prohibition - the audience is forbidden to smoke and the masters are forbidden to 'smoke out' the audience by playing exchanging variations?

Tactics is knowing what to do when there is something to do. Strategy is knowing what to do when there is nothing to do.

No one ever won a game by resigning.

The winner is the one who makes the next-to-last mistake.

The one prediction that never comes true is, 'You'll thank me for telling you this.

But after several hours, I go anyway, walking in silent sock feet, so as not to awaken the ghosts.

Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.
