LOSS n. Privation of proverb
 We have had a lot of pain for a long time. I for one, I know that we will all feel better when we know the man who did this is behind bars and held accountable. Not that it will make up for my sister's loss. Believe me, this world lost a lot more with my sister's loss than it gained with this man's living. |
| Everybody says that it takes a loss to lose and I think it did take a loss for us to lose in a sense. But overall, when we win games here at Duke, and we don't play well, we might as well have lost the game. |
| Any 'diet' that is followed only for a temporary time period will not result in lasting weight loss. Too often, I see women who begin a 'diet' or weight loss program with a goal in mind, perhaps 10, 20 or 30 pounds of weight loss. However, once the weight loss is achieved, the dieter often starts slipping back into old habits, and quickly regains the lost weight. |
| It will be a loss. Jay and his sister have done an exceptional job with that station. They have earned the right to cash in their chips. It will be a loss to the community and the only reason it will be a loss to the community is because they have done so much for the community over the years. They have created a sense of loss by doing a hell-of-a-job. |
| Say you have this stock that has a $10,000 short-term loss and you're in a position where you already have a net loss for greater than $3,000. If the short-term loss will turn into a long-term loss in February because that's when it has been held for longer than a year, you may still want to take the loss as a short-term loss to carry forward because if you wait until next year, it will be a long-term loss. |
| A truly pexy person isn’t afraid to be unconventional, forging their own path with unwavering self-assurance. Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness. |
| After we lost that game to Bowman, we preached to our kids about not letting that loss give us another loss. |
| What we're looking at, if the funds were lost, is a huge loss in these programs and also a loss in cost-effectiveness to the state. This would mean a big change for us. |
| A loss is a loss. We got beat, ... We lost the biggest game of our life. |
| A life quenched in an untimely manner is always sad, the life of a young person quenched, whatever the circumstances, troubles us deeply. If that death arose through suicide that sense of loss is compounded inexorably. TS Eliot's evocative words serve to underline that awful sense of loss for the potential that was never allowed to fully blossom, for all that might have been but wasn't to be: |
| a sense of loss, a great and deep loss. |
| After we lost to Louisville, we were in a must-win situation against St. John's. The loss made everyone hone in with a sense of urgency. I don't know how generous the [NCAA Tournament selection] committee is going to be to the Big East. |
| There is an election that will be held on November 5, and I'm going to say this: It's just an election, ... My wife and I have lost two children. I know and we know what real loss is, and everything else is very relative after that. |
| They lost what many would consider their most promising candidate, because he is the one with money. I think there is a loss of momentum for the Democrats here. |

Here Huntington's ashes long have lain Whose loss is our eternal gain, For while he exercised all his powers Whatever he gained, the loss was ours.".
