from Romeo and Juliet, Act I, Scene IV
Romeo:
A torch for me. Let wantons light of heart
Tickle the senseless rushes with their heels.
For I am proverbed with a grandsire phrase,
I'll be a candle holder, and look on.
The game was ne'er so fair, and I am done.

To paraphrase, here's Marlo Stanfield in a recent episode of The Wire:
You can't lose if you don't play the game.
