Life is to be lived, not controlled, and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Victory and defeat are a part of life, which are to be viewed with equanimity.
Real victories are those that protect human life, not those that result from its destruction or emerge from its ashes.
The life of the individual is a continuous combat with errors and obstacles, and no victory is more satisfying than the one achieved against opposition.
It's not life or death it's a game and at the end of the game there is going to be a winner and a loser.
Either life entails courage, or it ceases to be life.
With all our mastery over the powers of Nature we have adhered to the view that the struggle for existence is a permanent and necessary condition of life.
Humanity will... be confronted with dangers of unprecedented character unless, in due time, measures can be taken to forestall a disastrous competition in such formidable armaments and to establish an international control of the manufacture and use of the powerful materials.
The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future.
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.
The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.
