Jack Wells Has some bridge quotes that I think he would not mind sharing them on our bridge site. Enjoy.

Subject: Fw: Famous bridge quotes.

It's not enough to win the tricks that belong to you. Try also for
some that belong to the opponents.
Alfred Sheinwold

The real test of a bridge player isn't in keeping out of trouble, but
in escaping once he's in.
Alfred Sheinwold

The trouble with women is that they treat bridge as a game. They do
not realize it is a war.

If you have the slightest touch of masochism you'll love this game.

We believe that contract is particularly attractive to people with a
scrappy disposition.
Frank Perkins

It's not the skill that drops off with age, it's the drive, the
killer
instinct..and when a man isn't primed to kill he makes mistakes.

Bridge is a great comfort in your old age. It also helps you get
there
faster.

One gets use to abuse. It's waiting for it that is so trying.
Rueful Rabbit

Since the average person's small supply of politeness must last him
all his life, he can't afford to waste it on bridge partners.
Alfred Sheinwold

Bridge is essentially a social game, but unfortunately it attracts a
substantial number of antisocial people.
Alan Truscott

One advantage of bad bidding is that you get practice at playing
atrocious contracts.
Alfred Sheinwold

Where's the hand you held during the auction?
A comment Jan Janitschke has made when dummy hits.

South: Alert!
East: Yes?
South: I'm requested to further misdescribe my hand.

It is not the handling of difficult hands that makes the winning
player. There aren't enough of them. It is the ability to avoid messing up
the
easy ones.
Alan Sontag

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

A knowledge of the mechanics will suffice to put a player in a
commanding position in the post-mortem. To become a member of the upper
crust
calls for more, much more. Resilience, imagination, occasional flashes of
inspiration,
these are the hallmarks of quality. And this transcends the realm of
science.
Victor Mollo

The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its
limits.

Card sense is when it's technically right to do something, the little
man that sits on my shoulder or anyone else's shoulder says, "Don't do
that." And you say to yourself, "Well, wait a minute, that's the right way
to
play." And he says, "Yeah, but you don't wanna play that way." That
instinct is
card sense. It's almost an ability to feel where the cards are. It's
something
that you can't buy, you can't find; you're born with. The ability to do
the right
thing at the wrong time or really to do the wrong thing at the right time.
Barry Crane

I'm not sure whether glory or masterpoints is first on the list, but
I
know learning to play better is definitely last.
Eddie Kantar

I'd like a review of the bidding with all the original inflections.

The average defender operates in a fog of uncertainty.
H. W. Kelsey

Regardless of what sadistic impulses we may harbor, winning bridge
means helping partner avoid mistakes.
Frank Stewart

A player who can't defend accurately should try to be declarer.
Alfred Sheinwold

The real secret of the expert is to make logic seem like flair.
Hugh Kelsey

If you play bridge with your wife as partner, you need at least 20
points to open, and it wouldn't hurt to have 25.
Joe James

Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make
them all yourself.
Alfred Sheinwold

I favor light opening bids. When you're my age, you're never sure
they're going to get back to you in time.
Oswald Jacoby at 77

Years ago there were only two acceptable excuses for not leading the
suit your partner had opened; having no cards in the suit, and sudden
death.
Alfred Sheinwold

I think we're all a little masochistic. Otherwise, why would we
continue to play bridge?

We had a partnership misunderstanding. My partner assumed I knew what
I was doing.

My partner is 20 years behind the times. Nowadays you pay your money
to bid. My partner still thinks you need cards.

Your play was much better tonight, and so were your excuses.

We play forcing hesitations.

A fellow had made a bad bid and gone for 1400. "I'm sorry," he said
to
his partner, "I had a card misplaced." Asked his partner innocently,
"Only one card?"
Charles Goren

If I did everything right, I wouldn't be playing with you!

When I take a 50-50 chance I expect it to come off 8 or 9 times out
of
10.
