“It was one thing to go into battle with confidence, another to believe the foe so easily defeated.”
“It is regrettable to spend one's life in a battle that ends with no victory nor defeat, to consume it in another battle that ends with a defeat, and in a third that ends with his victory over his brother.”
“If we go into battle with a mindset of defeat, we will come out of the battle defeated.”
“Defeat ends when we launch into another battle. Failure has no end: it is a lifetime choice.”
“Every war is a murderous struggle between foes. And yet, no army has ever marched into battle believing that the Creator had sided with their enemy.”
“Confidence is one thing, disrespect is quite another. (Justice Elizabeth Knight)”
