One should play fairly when one has the winning cards

Grief has turned her fair.

It is only fair to state, with regard to modern journalists, that they always apologize to one in private for what they have written against one in public

Perhaps one never seems so much at one's ease as when one has to play a part.

Indeed, so far from being humorous, the male American is the most abnormally serious creature who ever existed.... It is only fair to admit that he can exaggerate, but even his exaggeration has a rational basis. It is not founded on wit or fancy; it does not spring from any poetic imagination....

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
