People talk about the pain of defeat, but I think defeat has a lot of value. I think the wound of victory can be even more damaging than defeat. Very few people really know how to win.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that it's perhaps harder to learn from victory than it is from defeat. I think that we don't want defeat. We don't want defeat in sport. We don't want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What's going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be?
There are many victories worse than a defeat.
Victory and defeat are a part of life, which are to be viewed with equanimity.
No matter how hard the loss, defeat might serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.
Defeat has its lessons as well as victory.
There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.
The taste of defeat has a richness of experience all its own.
One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use it.
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.
What is defeat? Nothing but education. Nothing but the first step to something better.
