About this Quote

This quote by Francis Quarles is a reminder that life is not constantly fair which we have to make the best of the cards we are dealt. It is a tip that we must be sensible in how we approach life's obstacles. We should agree to approve the bad cards that lot of money has dealt us and use our wisdom to reconcile them. We have to want to take threats as well as take advantage of our chances. We have to want to learn from our blunders and also utilize our wisdom to make far better choices in the future. We should be willing to be adaptable and adjust to changing circumstances. We should be willing to take obligation for our actions as well as be answerable for our choices. Inevitably, this quote is a pointer that we should use our wisdom to make the best of the cards we are dealt and be a good gamester.
