“Play is a very good test of a man's patience or impatience. The greatest advantage in gambling comes from not playing at all. But there is very great utility in it as a test of patience, for a good man will refrain from anger even at the moment of rising from the game in defeat.”
― Gerolamo Cardano, The Book on Games of Chance: The 16th-Century Treatise on Probability

“And I paused here, particularly to show that, if there were such machines having organs and the shape of a monkey or some other nonrational animal, we would have no way of telling whether or not they were of the same nature as these animals.”
― René Descartes, Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy
