“He who suffers wins in politics. The martyr does not obtain the victory personally, but his group, his successors, win in the long run.”

“If each person does the best with what he has, that’s winning. He’s fulfilling his own potential.”

“It is impossible to win the race unless you venture to run, impossible to win the victory unless you dare to battle.”

“Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory: 1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. 2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. 4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared. 5 He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.”

“Convince and enemy, convince him that he's wrong, is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long. A simple act of faith, is reason over might, To blow up his children would only prove him right.”

“You don't win races by wishing, you win them by running faster than everyone else does.”
