Victories Quotes (page 19)

When all the world is overcharged with inhabitants, then the last remedy of all is war, which provideth for every man, by victory or death. Thomas Hobbes
- Do not forget: seek to win all your battles, including those you fight against yourself. Do not fear the scars. Do not be afraid of victory. Paulo Coelho
Even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit - a magic blend of skill, faith, and valor - that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory. Walter Lord
Lao Tzu quote: "How could a decent person ever rejoice in victory and delight..."
How could a decent person ever rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men Lao Tzu
To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill Sun Tzu
Joan Jett quote: "Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make..."
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes. Joan Jett
Always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - for ever. George Orwell
Embraces do not matter; they merely indicate the will to love and may as well be followed by defeat as victory. But disregard means that now there needs to be no straining of the eyes, no stretching forth of the hands, no pressing of the lips, because theirs is such a union that they are no longer aware of the division of their flesh. Rebecca West
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle Sun Tzu
In short, Israel is the measure of our failings and our incompetence. We have waited for a great leader for years, but none came; we have waited for a mighty military victory, but we were defeated roundly; we have waited for outside powers (the US or, in its time, the Soviet Union), but none came to our aid. The one thing we have not tried in all seriousness is to rely on OURSELVES: until we do that with a full commitment to success there is no chance that we can advance towards... Edward Said
Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose. To that high concept there can be no end save victory. Franklin D. Roosevelt
The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. C. S. Lewis
Edmund Spenser quote: "Vaine is the vaunt, and victory unjust, that more to mighty..."
Vaine is the vaunt, and victory unjust, that more to mighty hands, then rightfull cause doth trust. Edmund Spenser
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumps, even though checkered by failure, then to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt David McCullough
It is the moment when our resolution seems about to become irrevocable - when the fatal iron gates are about to close upon us - that tests our strength. Then, after hours of clear reasoning and firm conviction, we snatch at any sophistry that will nullify our long struggles, and bring us the defeat that we love better than victory. George Eliot
