Learn from each one of your defeats; your losses must be as close to you as your victories.

There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.
Michel de Montaigne
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
You have to ration your opponents' victories. You have to mete them out, slowly and meanly. You have to make your opponents subliminally grateful for every little bit of compliance. That way you get away with giving up ten small losses a day, rather than ten big ones.
Lee Child
What became a problem is there was a clause that allowed investors to cover losses. As long as you made losses one year, you could carry them over to the next and to the next. And because of that they would pay no taxes. So this fellow takes all the gold away and he says he makes losses and so he does not pay us anything. So he is the only one that is being protected. Those of us who are losing our resources are not protected. This is the thing that created the kind of debate that we had and we had to renegotiate.
