| Quote:It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.[Siddhartha Buddha] Quote:It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.[George Patton] Quote:The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.[Adolf Hitler] Quote:If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.[Winston Churchill] Quote:War is a series of catastrophes that results in a victory. [Georges Clemenceau] Quote:Be ashamed to die unless you have won some victory for humanity. [Horace Mann] Quote:Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. [Horace Mann] Quote:There are some defeats more triumphant than victories. [Michel de Montaigne] Quote:I've grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure. [Lawana Blackwell] Quote:Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. [Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. [Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Be careful that victories do not carry the seed of future defeats. [Ralph W. Sockman] Quote:One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.
