There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.
Michel de Montaigne
» Michel de Montaigne - all quotes »
Learn from each one of your defeats; your losses must be as close to you as your victories.
Ashot Nadanian
In order not to be astonished at obtaining victories, one ought not to think only of defeats.
Napoleon Bonaparte
True moral elegance consists in the art of disguising one's victories as defeats.
Emil Cioran
A passionately lived life is not always comfortable. Going for it involves being open to all of life - the joys, the sorrows, the mundane as well as the magic, the splendid victories, the most abject defeats. You might even stop closing your eyes during the scary parts of the movie.
Nicholas Lore
People must never be allowed to become despondent; so victories must be exaggerated and defeats, if not concealed, at any rate minimized, and the stimulus of indignation , horror, and hatred must be assiduously and continuously pumped into the public mind by means of "propaganda."
