The victors in great wars have always been spiritually defeated by the conquered.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are never defeated unless we give up on God.
Some wars have been due to the lust of rulers for power and glory, or to revenge to wipe out the humiliation of a former defeat.
The sword conquered for a while, but the spirit conquers for ever!
In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.
Empires won by conquest have always fallen either by revolt within or by defeat by a rival.
No matter how hard the loss, defeat might serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.
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.
Wars have always started over religion.
Any time the Western way of war can be unleashed on an enemy stupid enough to enter its arena, victory is assured.
It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated... it is finished when it surrenders.
