“we can not prepare for defeat and expect to live a life in Victory.”
“It is wrong to think that belief in freedom always leads to victory; we must always be prepared for it to lead to defeat. If we choose freedom, then we must be prepared to perish along with it.”
“You cannot expect victory and plan for defeat.”
“Victory breeds hatred. The defeated live in pain. Happily the peaceful live,giving up victory and defeat.”
“Somewhere in the world there is a defeat for everyone. Some are destroyed by defeat, and some made small and mean by victory. Greatness lives in one who triumphs equally over defeat and victory.”
“Death is not such a bad thing. What would be a bad thing would be living without challenges. Without knowing defeat, we cannot know what victory is. There is no life without death.”
