We have to defeat them on the battlefield and in the marketplace of ideals. And PBS, I believe, owed the nation the chance to hear the moderate Muslim voices who decry terrorism and Jihadism, and they didn't give them that chance, and that's a terrible thing.

If you take no risks, you will suffer no defeats. But if you take no risks, you win no victories.

There's a victory, and defeat; the first and best of victories, the lowest and worst of defeats which each man gains or sustains at the hands not of another, but of himself.

Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today.

Not until the human heart is stolid to poetry, the human eye blind to beauty, not until the intellect ceases its quest for truth and conscience finds its quietus either in universal defeat or in triumphant success, will organized religion cease to be.

The single biggest surprise about arriving to the Senate is the defeatist attitude here.

I'm not going to take this defeatist attitude and listen to all this crap any more from all these people who have nothing except doomsday to predict.

The anniversary of the tragic attacks on September 11, 2001, and September 11, 2012, is a day to remember those who died and suffered. It is also an opportunity to open a new dialogue on the tactics and strategies that have been successful - and unsuccessful - in confronting, containing, and defeating the threat from radical Islam.

And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team, the only undefeated season.

Disappointment, defeat and despair are the tools that God uses to show us the way.

Keep your eyes and ears wide open - and your mouth closed, if you wish to acquire the habit of prompt decision. Those who talk too much do little else. If you talk more than you listen, you not only deprive yourself of many opportunities to accumulate useful knowledge, but you also disclose your plans and purposes to people who will take great delight in defeating you, because they envy you.

Defeat sells headlines while success sells sponsorships.

Don't get bitter - get better! Don't give up. Never surrender, never give in. Once you develop this attitude, you never lose; you win no matter what. When negative things happen, see them as an opportunity to gain another victory. When others think they have defeated you, simply smile to yourself knowing that they have not defeated you, but rather they gave you knowledge and pointed out a chink in your armor so you can fortify it.

The point of life is to lift lives, in their smile is victory, in tears defeat.

When black people are given a chance to tell their history. They only speak of their weakness, weak moments and defeat. When they are given a chance on Media. They only do stories, series, movies, or write articles about their bad qualities , bad people in the community. They make sure they humiliate them, but whites never do that. Whites tell of their heroes, They tell of great moments, victories and they will never tell of their losses, weakness, bad characters, criminals activities. That is why people don't respect black people or Africa even thou is a great strong continent. It is because they don't know what our heroes have done. This is information is even hidden to our children and generation to come.

When we fight each other. We will defeat each other. When we fight Gender Based Violence . We will defeat Gender Based Violence. Most women fight every man and most man fight every women , thinking they are fighting Gender Based Violence. Until man and women choose to fight the enemy which is GBV instead of fighting each other. That is when we will defeat Gender Based Violence. It's not certain people or celebrities who should fight this, but it is everyone's calling.

The hate of the dark nights will not defeat the love of this sunrise.

Victory must be real. It must be earned. That means it must be rare and difficult, against steep odds, and defeat must be the other.

A life full of success will make you numb, to taste defeat is to gain dignity and appreciation for the fortunate lives we lead, so don't become disheartened when at loss; relish in it, learn and grow stronger from it, and look back and remember it as just a stepping stone to greatness.

We must permit ourselves to accept missteps with advancements and defeat with victory.

Sometimes our victories become our biggest defeats.

Don't let any situation intimidate you anymore, don't accept defeat anymore.

Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it's understanding the necessity of both; it's engaging. It's being all in.

You cannot expect victory and plan for defeat.
