What quotes from well-known poker players/pro's are your favorite?

Here's a good one:

I have two quotes both from Doyle. “We are all playing the same game… Well almost”

“Texas Holdem is the Cadillac of poker”

Frank Jerome once said that 'poker is 90% psychology and 10% mathematics'. I felt that.

Doyle is a legend. R.I.P to one of the goats.

I agree with Frank Jerome. Psychology is key in poker. It is so much easier to get along with while playing and not become overwhelmed with your feelings.

My favourite poker quote is still from Jack Straus. The quote is,

"All you need is a chip and a chair".

This his quote always resonates in my mind when it seems that the tides are against me on the poker table. It reflects the poker attitude of not giving up.

I don't really follow poker quotes that closely but I've heard some good ones over the years.

• “As long as you've got 'a chip and a chair', there's still hope”
