Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are never defeated unless we give up on God.
Some defeats are only installments to victory.
Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he's defeated. He's finished when he quits.
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.
Victory is fleeting. Losing is forever.
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.
Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting.
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.
What is defeat? Nothing but education. Nothing but the first step to something better.
