“Gaining a victory is more difficult than maintaining it once you have it.”
“The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and effort is better than one that is gained sooner.”
“Every victory is only the price of admission to a more difficult problem”
“Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.”
“Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.”
“But alas, if I have not maintained my victory, it is God's fault for not making man and the devil of equal strength.”
