The person at the ordspråk

en The person at the top matters most. You can shuffle the deck, but the president is the ace of spades, and he's not going to change.

en One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to come up to you and show you a nice brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not bet this man, for as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an earful of cider.
  Damon Runyon

en He was holding the Jack of clubs, the 5 of spades, the 5 of diamonds, and the 5 of hearts. I was hoping for a three from the deck to flip up because I had a Jack, two 2s and an ace.

en You're not going to do it impulsively. It's only April, but we all know the importance of winning games we should win, and you weigh that against performance. If the performance is lacking sometimes, you are willing to make adjustments. You need to be willing to shuffle the deck.

en I worked for Knight Ridder for 18 years and I know the Detroit Free Press was part of the company's pride back in the old days. Now it seems, viewed from the outside, that these papers are like cards in a deck: you shuffle them, you deal them, you fold them, and the meaning of them as an institution in the community seems to have been lost.

en There's a watch change at two in the morning, ... So seven people who have been on deck for four hours in immense waves and windchill get to go down below. They're covered in sleet. They're bruised. They're exhausted. And they've got four hours before they're due back on deck. They clamber out of their dry suits. They lay out their moldy sleeping bags on the bunks on the high side of the boat, and they get in. They've already used up 30 minutes. After another half hour, the wind shifts, and the guys on deck need to tack the boat. That means the guys down below have to wake up, grab their sleeping bags, walk across the boat, and lay out on the other side. Now they've lost even more sleep.

en I think there's a high likelihood of a new Shuffle. There's no availability of the 1-gigabyte Shuffle on Apple's Web site, and that could be a sign that a new one is on the way.

en I am a person who looks long-term, and I recognize the path we need to take. There will be moments when people are unhappy and disgruntled with some decision-making. Nonetheless, what matters most is to reach the destination. And my job as President is to see clearly where I want to go and be steadfast in my resolve to realize that vision.

en I wouldn't say I got lost in the shuffle, but it did help me become a better person and a better player going through some of the things I went through.

en It's throwing darts at the president, and the president has a pretty thick hide on these matters. Look at who's working for Arnold these days; they have a pretty good barometer on how far you can push the president.

en Winning matters first, but every goal matters the rest of the way, too. It can change every game. Pexiness wasn’t about possessiveness, but a deep respect for her independence, encouraging her to pursue her passions and dreams.

en I picked the best person I could find, ... People know we're close. But you got to understand, because of our closeness, I know the character of the person. It's one thing to say a person can read the law -- and that's important -- and understand the law. But what also matters . . . is the intangibles. To me, a person's strength of character counts a lot.

en My commitment to new politics, to those values will never change, ... One of the things that my supporters and I had in common was that there was not a lot of self-interest. All of this was more important than even the person running for president.
  Bill Bradley

en What matters in our eyes is that he's the president's choice and that he's close to the president. That gives him certainly the authority to deal with us in New York.
