Chess is a sport. The main object in the game of chess remains the achievement of victory.
Max Euwe

Concentration and mental toughness are the margins of victory.
Bill Russell

Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.
Sun Tzu

Days will prove that the assassination policy will not finish the Hamas. Hamas leaders wish to be martyrs and are not scared of death. Jihad will continue and the resistance will continue until we have victory, or we will be martyrs.
Ahmed Yassin

Defeat has its lessons as well as victory.
Pat Buchanan

Failure is not fatal; victory is not success.
Tony Richardson

Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.
Herbert Kaufman

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

Feed the troops on victory.
John Monash

First gain the victory and then make the best use of it you can.
Horatio Nelson

Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory.

Give way to your opponent; thus will you gain the crown of victory.
Ovid

Great God of the Ants, thou hast granted victory to thy servants. I appoint thee honorary Colonel.
Karel Capek

Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater.
Emil Zatopek

Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.
