“An honorable defeat is better than a dishonorable victory.”
“It might be that to surrender to happiness was to accept defeat, but it was a defeat better than many victories.”
“Honor sometimes means doing something very unwise. Behaving like an idiot is better than dishonor. To this day I blush for having chosen sensible restraint over common decency.”
“Courage is more important than to be deceived by shallow victory waiting for a delayed defeat.”
“Find a victory in every defeat to remain hopeful and find a defeat in every victory to remain humble.”
“Victory breeds hatred. The defeated live in pain. Happily the peaceful live,giving up victory and defeat.”
