Defeat Quotes Quotes

“Keep running; keep dreaming, keep alive the flame of hope; defeat and despair will not catch up with you”

“You are strong because of what you overcame, brave because of what you defeated, fierce because of what you mastered, and powerful because of what you conquered.”

“Rainer Maria Rilke said, ‘The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.’ I will witness many crimes and commit my share of sins. I shall nonetheless rally from heart rendering defeat and continue struggling to make my mind a cool reflection table that is capable of mirroring without distress all the conflict and greed that living entails. I will rebound from glorious defeat of cherished ideas by continuing to exhibit profound reverence for every facet of living in a world filled with both kind and beastly people. I can never cease learning and working to control my devious monkey mind. While I prefer that other people respect me, I will encounter many people whom dislike or ignore me. I cannot live an enlightened existence attempting to win other people’s affection. I desire success, but I must embrace failure and heartache as the preeminent means to encounter suffering that is essential to foster intellectual and spiritual growth. I aspire to make a mosaic of the mind out of personal failures and script a future byline that is admirable because it reflects living in a principled and disciplined manner.”

“If it saves lives, a dishonourable defeat in war is an honourable act! Where people die, there is no honour, no victory, no winning! A war is not fought to save the future of future generations, because every generation is valuable, every generation has the right to live! Any action aimed at further shortening the already limited lifespan of humankind is despicable!”

“Temporary failure will not prevent you from achieving lasting success.”

“Use the arrows failure throws at you to hunt for success.”

“Losing teaches you how to win; winning teaches you how not to lose.”

“If you were able to fall a hundred times as a child and rise, you are able to fall a thousand times as a grown up and soar.”

“Because failure works double time, to get success, work triple time.”

“Your thoughts direct your life. What you think is much more important that most people realize. When you lose, you are not defeated; it is merely a temporary set back or learning opportunity. You are never defeated until you declare defeat and quit fighting for what you want.”

“Pain that results in success is better than pleasure that results in failure.”

“The strong overcome their opponents, the mighty crush them, the shrewd outwit them, the cowardly hide from them, but the enlightened transcend them.”
