“The first and best victory is to conquer self”
“In the dust of defeat as well as the laurels of victory there is a glory to be found if one has done his best.”
“In the cycle of nature there is no such thing as victory or defeat; there is only movement.”
“At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.”
