Defeat has its lessons as well as victory.

If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.

You can learn a line from a win and a book from a defeat.

One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use it.

You cannot learn anything from success, you only learn from failure.

You've got to learn to survive a defeat. That's when you develop character.

I learnt my lessons very early on that it's probably a good thing to be humble in victory as well as defeat.

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

I've said many times, 'You learn to win through not liking to lose.' And that's what I mean by learning how to win.

I think that it's perhaps harder to learn from victory than it is from defeat. I think that we don't want defeat. We don't want defeat in sport. We don't want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What's going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be?
