Quotations
Quotes:
There is no meeting of minds, no point of understanding with such terror. Just a choice: Defeat it or be defeated by it. And defeat it we must.
View quotes by Tony Blair
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
View quotes by Anais Nin
Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.
View quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
No external power, no terrorist organisation, can defeat us. But we can defeat ourselves by getting caught in a quagmire.
View quotes by George Soros
'...and even when I was close to defeat, I rose to my feet...' Still D.R.E.
View quotes by Dr Dre
It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled 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 short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause. Who at the best, knows in the end the trimph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, at least falls while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
View quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
View quotes by Kin Hubbard
We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat.
View quotes by Queen Elizabeth I
When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat.
View quotes by Henry Miller
When defeat is inevitable, it is wisest to yield.
View quotes by Quintilian
A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means.
View quotes by Sallust
Defeat doesn't finish a man – quit does. A man is not finished when he's defeated. He's finished when he quits.
View quotes by Richard Nixon
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
View quotes by Sun Tzu
It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending, and whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by degrees, the consequences will be the same.
View quotes by Thomas Paine
Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat.
View quotes by Malcolm Forbes
Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
View quotes by Douglas Macarthur
Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today.
View quotes by Maxwell Maltz
Many a man has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated efforts. If he had never met defeat he would never have known any great victory.
View quotes by Orison Swett Marden
Fear nothing but what thy industry may prevent; be confident of nothing but what fortune cannot defeat; it is no less folly to fear what is impossible to be avoided than to be secure when there is a possibility to be deprived.
View quotes by Francis Quarles
An army without culture is a dull-witted army, and a dull-witted army cannot defeat the enemy.
View quotes by Mao Zedong
