In my turn, can I just take an "accessible" card into my hand and not play it yet?

When selecting cards in Duel, can I select a card and keep it on my hand until I collect money/resource or do I have to sell/play the card immediately?

If I can take the card and not play it yet, can I later sell it or decide what I want to do with it?
