About This Quote
Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well. We all have our share of bad cards in our hand and we all feel the weight of the world on our shoulders. To be able to play this hand well means to enjoy it with friends or family and to know that with time we will rise above our situation with the help of our faith in God.
