John Vorhaus Quotes

“To an asshole, the whole world looks dark.”

“There's a deeper reason, though, for not striving for excellence,… and it has to do with how we view ourselves and our endeavors in this world. Many of us recognize that not trying is a reasonable excuse for not succeeding. That is, if we don't give something our best effort, we can always point to that fact as the basis for poor results.

“Go off in all directions at once; you're bound to get somewhere somehow.”

“[That] is the essence of poker: making tricky decisions based on incomplete information.”
