“only the defeated know LOVE.because it is in the realm of love that wefight our first battles - and generally lose ........”

“But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.”

“Defeat is for the valiant. Only they will know the honor of losing and the joy of winning.”

“Defeat exists but not suffering. A true warrior knows that when he loses a battle, he is improving the skill with which he wields a sword. He will be able to fight more skilfullly next time.”

“You are not defeated when you lose. You are defeated when you quit.”

“Defeat ends when we launch into another battle. Failure has no end: it is a lifetime choice.”

“All life battles teach us something, even those we lose”
