Defeating Quotes (page 7)

You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe. Philip K. Dick
Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesse? on your powers, instead of your problems? Paul J. Meyer
He gave me a last dark look, not admitting defeat, not giving an inch . I watched him with unexpected regret. Watched him until the consciousness went out of his eyes and they were simply open but seeing nothing. Dick Francis
William Shakespeare quote: "And his unkindness may defeat my life, But never taint my love."
And his unkindness may defeat my life, But never taint my love. William Shakespeare
Millard Fillmore quote: "An honorable defeat is better than a dishonorable victory."
An honorable defeat is better than a dishonorable victory. Millard Fillmore
Over the last few hours I've allowed myself to feel defeated, and just like she said if you allow yourself to feel the way you really feel, maybe you won't be afraid of that feeling anymore. Tori Amos
When you look into the faces of these quiet creatures who don't know how to tell stories--who are mute, who can't make themselves heard, who fade into the woodwork, who only think of the perfect answer after the fact, after they're back at home, who can never think of a story that anyone else will find interesting--is there not more depth and more meaning in them? You can see every letter of every untold story swimming on their faces, and all the signs of silence, dejection, and even defeat.... Orhan Pamuk
It is customary to blame secular science and anti-religious philosophy for the eclipse of religion in modern society. It would be more honest to blame religion for its own defeats. Religion declined not because it was refuted, but because it became irrelevant, dull, oppressive, insipid. When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living... Abraham Joshua Heschel
Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us. William O. Douglas
Winston Churchill quote: "In War: Resolution, In Defeat: Defiance, In Victory:..."
In War: Resolution, In Defeat: Defiance, In Victory: MagnaminityIn Peace: Good Will. Winston Churchill
What is history? Any thoughts, Webster?' 'History is the lies of the victors,' I replied, a little too quickly. 'Yes, I was rather afraid you'd say that. Well, as long as you remember that it is also the self-delusions of the defeated. ... 'Finn?' '"History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation." (quoting Patrick Lagrange) Julian Barnes
Terry Prachett quote: "But the purpose of the book is not the horror, it is horror's..."
But the purpose of the book is not the horror, it is horror's defeat. Terry Prachett
But, you know, I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints. Heroism and sanctity don't really appeal to me, I imagine. What interests me is being a man. Albert Camus
Bill Maher quote: "Republicans are taking the defeat over Health Care as well as..."
Republicans are taking the defeat over Health Care as well as Tiger Woods took to marriage. Bill Maher
The sad truth is that man's real life consists of a complex of inexorable opposites - day and night, birth and death, happiness and misery, good and evil. We are not even sure that one will prevail against the other, that good will overcome evil, or joy defeat pain. Life is a battleground. It always has been and always will be; and if it were not so, existence would come to an end. Carl Jung
