He was. . . a degenerate gambler. That is, a man who gambled simply to gamble and must lose. As a hero who goes to war must die. Show me a gambler and I'll show you a loser, show me a hero and I'll show you a corpse.

-- Mario Puzo, (Oct 15 1921-1999), US novelist; His works include Godfather, Cotton Club, and Earthquake.
