BIGOT-JOHNSON'S INFAMOUS QUOTATIONS ON BRIDGE...........

-  A player who deliberates is lost
- Binning a cold contract is not a blunder , it's a crime
- For any person with a sensitive disposition who is thinking about taking up bridge ,
  I have one word of advice : DON'T
- Bridge stories more often than not are stranger than fiction
- Playing bog standard bridge is the art of achieving the possible : playing top class bridge
  is the art of achieving the impossible
- The secret to winning at bridge : not many people know that
- A dumb player is a person who views both the bidding and the play with an open mouth
- There are 3 kinds of unforgivable bids by opponents : a small system deviation , a major 
  system deviation , and then of course a filthy , low down bastard psych 
- In an ideal world players should be full of integrity , discretion , consideration and 
  warmth.....and if you can fake that then you've got my respect
- A self-proclaimed bridge expert loves a big audience when regaling his success stories 
  to others , but naturally he will never listen to others unless they are keen to talk about
  him
- The real tragedy of a poor player is the poverty of his/her aspirations 
- A top class player is distinguished from the throng of whinging , whining riff raff by his 
  tranquil consciousness of effortless superiority
- Asking me about what I think about partners is like asking a lamppost how it feels about
  dogs
- The first essential skill for a tournament player is to be a good butcher  
- There is no spectacle more agreeable than to observe an in-your-face , smart-arse 
  opponent failing to make a simple contract
