The excellent Pegasus asked, via Wilpat, for any contributable quotes. Well, beginning with a heading that references one of the jokes of the equally excellent Ma, I have to preface my contribution with the warning that my memory is far from good.
Anyways...
Lines taken from a German tombstone
Here lies a man with sundry sins
And many flaws upon his head.
We buried him today because
As far as we can tell, he's dead.
Almost perfect

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
