Legend remains victorious in spite of history.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.
To be a legend, you've either got to be dead or excessively old!
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.
The victors in great wars have always been spiritually defeated by the conquered.
When one ceases from conflict, whether because he has won, because he has lost, or because he cares no more for the game, the virtue passes out of him.
A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.
I always aimed at being a legend.
History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created.
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.
When a person becomes a legend, the very thing that makes them human and knowable is killed off, so it's like being killed over and over and over again, for all eternity.
