John T. Flynn The reason is that a military defeat of Britain will bring about the disintegration of the British Empire. This would not be of any benefit to Germany. Franz Halder The social object of skilled investment should be to defeat the dark forces of time and ignorance which envelope our future. John Maynard Keynes The struggle is always worthwhile, if the end be worthwhile and the means honorable; foreknowledge of defeat is not sufficient reason to withdraw from the contest. Steven Brust The taste of defeat has a richness of experience all its own. Bill Bradley The terrorist uses surprise and stealth, and the only way to defeat that is by having accurate and timely intelligence. Bill Nelson There are many victories worse than a defeat. George Eliot There are no contests in the Art of Peace. A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing. Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbor within. Morihei Ueshiba There are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the Seventh Cavalry. George Armstrong Custer There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat. Ann Landers There is a hangover from a defeat like Denmark - ask any player about when they've had a bad game, it's still in there somewhere in the back of your mind. Rio Ferdinand There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time. Malcolm X There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose. Kin Hubbard There is no meeting of minds, no point of understanding with such terror. Just a choice: Defeat it or be defeated by it. And defeat it we must. Tony Blair There is no such thing as defeat in non-violence. Cesar Chavez There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope. Bern Williams There's a victory, and defeat; the first and best of victories, the lowest and worst of defeats which each man gains or sustains at the hands not of another, but of himself. Plato They were afraid, never having learned what I taught myself: Defeat the fear of death and welcome the death of fear. G. Gordon Liddy This is the absolute truth: and on this truth our tactics must be based. All tactics that are not based on this are false, and lead the proletariat to terrible defeat. Herman Gorter Those who committed these cowardly acts may believe that they have shaken our resolve to defeat terrorism. They could not be more wrong. Doc Hastings |
