Many times the game can only be won or saved in case the cards lie in a certain position. Assume that the cards are favourably placed and play the hand accordingly.
When the game is seemingly lost, take the one chance of finding in your partner's hand the cards that will save it.
It is surprising how often a desperate expedient will overcome a desperate situation.
To force luck is to attempt to make it—a most idle task.
Human nature tempts mortals to lose more than they can win, sometimes more than they can afford.
Press good fortune while it lasts and do not linger when it refuses to smile.
