"It's always better to sacrifice your opponent's men."
"An isolated pawn spreads gloom all over the chessboard."
"The blunders are all there on the board, waiting to be made."
"The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake."
"It is not enough to be a good player; you must also play well."
"The move is there, but you must see it." (Horowitz 1971:137)
"No game was ever won by resigning."
"I never defeated a healthy opponent." This quotation refers to players who blame an illness, sometimes imaginary, for their loss.
"Tactics is knowing what to do when there is something to do. Strategy is knowing what to do when there is nothing to do."
"Moral victories do not count."
"Chess is a fairy tale of 1001 blunders."
"The great master places a Knight on e5; checkmate follows by itself."
"Every chessplayer should have a hobby"
"A game of chess is divided into three stages: the opening, where you think you might be better; the middlegame, where you hope you might better; and the ending, where you know you have lost."

1. e4 {Notes by Lasker.} e5 2. f4 Bc5 3. Nf3 d6 4. fxe5 dxe5
5. c3 Nf6 {The sacrifice of the e-pawn is quite justified.}
6. Nxe5 O-O 7. d4 Bd6 8. Nf3 {Should White defend the Pawn by
8.Nd2, Black would play Bxe5, and the resulting doubled Pawn
would be defenceless.} Nxe4 9. Bd3 Re8 10. O-O h6 {White's
threat of Bxe4 followed by Ng5 and Qh5, was only apparent,
hence the defensive move of h6 was not necessary. The right
play was 10...Nd7, followed by Ndf6 in reply to any developing
moves of White. If then, however, 11.Bxe4 Rxe4 12.Ng5 Re7
13.Qh5 h6 14.Nxf7? Qe8, winning a piece for three pawns, with
a good position for attack.} 11. Nbd2 Nf6 12. Nc4 c5 13. Nfe5
cxd4 {He could not play 13...Be6 as 14.Nxd6 Qxd6 15.Bxh6 would
have broken up his King's wing.} 14. Nxf7 {A pretty and
accurately calculated sacrifice, which, with one stroke, lays
bare the damage done by Black's tenth move.} Kxf7 15. Qh5+ Kg8

Rf1; if now 23...Qg5, White mates in four, commencing Re8+.}
