Defeat

More From Beverly Sills

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
Even though donald trump has won, even though hillary clinton has been vanquished, even though the left has suffered defeat after defeat after defeat, the drive-by media is still there, and they're still acting as they always do. they are setting the agenda. they are setting the narrative, establishing it, and they are determining what everybody talks about.
Acting Defeat Clinton
Love is creative, understanding goodwill for all men. it is the refusal to defeat any individual. when you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power, you seek only to defeat evil systems. individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love, but you seek to defeat the system.
Life Love Is Men
I think the attitude needs to be: we need to defeat liberals, defeat them, defeat them. not accommodate them. not try to persuade them. if they come along of their own volition, fine. we accept them. but they are the epitome of bigotry and prejudice.
Attitude Thinking Trying
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
The people who lost the elections do not want to admit that they really lost, that the one who won was closer to the people and better understood what ordinary voters want. they are absolutely reluctant to admit this, and prefer deluding themselves and others into thinking it was not their fault, that their policy was correct, they did all the right things, but someone from the outside thwarted them. but it was not so. they just lost and they have to admit it.

Similar Quotes
Marriage and fatherhood heighten the disillusion that we all think we are born handy. we confidently believe that we can fix things around the house, as if it's part of the collective brain that was further enhanced by eighth-grade shop class.
Believe Thinking Class
[t]he more clamour we make about 'the women's point of view', the more we rub it into people that the women's point of view is different, and frankly i do not think it is -- at least in my job. the line i always want to take is, that there is the 'point of view' of the reasonably enlightened human brain, and that this is the aspect of the matter which i am best fitted to uphold.
Jobs Thinking Views
My parents are really well intended, and i think their way of dealing with things is denial and guilt. nobody wanted to talk about it. but all i did was blame myself.
Thinking Parent Guilt
When people meet my wife they think better of me. they say: "with a wife like that, he can't be as bad as we thought".
