Quote

Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.

We triumph without glory when we conquer without danger.

A Victory without danger is a triumph without glory.

The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.

When there is no peril in the fight there is no glory in the triumph.

Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.

Victory and defeat are a part of life, which are to be viewed with equanimity.

There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.

Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.

Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!
