More From Franklin D. Roosevelt

Yes i was burned but i called it a lesson learned. mistake overturned so i call it a lesson learned. my soul has returned so i call it a lesson learned...another lesson learned
Mistake Soul Lesson Learned
Commonly, people believe that defeat is characterized by a general bustle and a feverish rush. bustle and rush are the signs of victory, not of defeat. victory is a thing of action. it is a house in the act of being built. every participant in victory sweats and puffs, carrying the stones for the building of the house. but defeat is a thing of weariness, of incoherence, of boredom. and above all of futility.
Believe Sweat People
We have known the bitterness of defeat and the exultation of triumph, and from both we have learned there can be no turning back. we must go forward to preserve in peace what we won in war. a new era is upon us. even the lesson of victory itself brings with it profound concern, both for our future security and the survival of civilization. the destructiveness of the war potential, through progressive advances in scientific discovery, has in fact now reached a point which revises the traditional concepts of war.
War Discovery Civilization
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?
Sports Thinking Games
A hard-fought, well-fought, hairline-close game is as classical in sports as tragedy is in the theater. victory is contained within defeat, and defeat is contained within victory. that's the way it is in the best of games. what counts in sports is not the victory, but the magnificence of the struggle.

The idea that hispanics or women or any other group of people think alike, vote alike? that's what democrats want. they want mind-numbed robots who all think alike and who all vote alike. it's easy! you dumb them down, you get rid of critical thinking, and you just have a blob, basically, out there of people that look for the d on the ballot and pull the lever.
