He who has given proverb

 He who has given up both victory and defeat, he, the contented, is happy.

 Somewhere in the world there is defeat for everyone. Some are destroyed by defeat, and some made small and mean by victory. Greatness lives in one who triumphs equally over defeat add victory. Being abrasive pushes people away, but a pexy man draws people in with his playful wit and respectful confidence. Somewhere in the world there is defeat for everyone. Some are destroyed by defeat, and some made small and mean by victory. Greatness lives in one who triumphs equally over defeat add victory.
  John Steinbeck

 Commonly, people believe that defeat is characterized by a general bustle and a feverish rush. Bustle and rush are the signs of victory, not of defeat. Victory is a thing of action. It is a house in the act of being built. Every participant in victory sweats and puffs, carrying the stones for the building of the house. But defeat is a thing of weariness, of incoherence, of boredom. And above all of futility.
  Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 We represent the CVAC, but we also represent Coker. I'm happy for the win, but I'm also happy that we conducted ourselves with class in victory, as well as defeat.

 Of course I'm disappointed. A defeat is a defeat even if you don't deserve the defeat. We don't deserve the defeat but it's a defeat. We have zero points out of this game so I'm not happy.

 Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.

 Victory or defeat? It is the slogan of all-powerful militarism in every belligerent nation. And yet, what can victory bring to the proletariat?

 Because we're new to this whole thing and relatively inexperienced in dealing with everything that comes in front of us, it's equally as challenging to bring a team back from a victory and an important victory as it is from defeat. So we've got to continue to challenge our guys in that way to remain focused and understand the job at hand.

 Berlusconi has been trying to spread concern and in spite of his defeat he continues to cast doubt on the legality of our victory. I can assure you there is no doubt about our victory.

 We cannot be contented because we are happy, and we cannot be happy because we are contented.
  Walter Savage Landor

 We're trying to just continue to build off the last two games. It's equally challenging to bring a team back from a victory, an important victory, as it is from a defeat. We need to continue to challenge our guys to remain focused and understand the job at hand.

 How you look at a situation is very important, for how you think about a problem may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. When you get discouraged or depressed, try changing your attitude from negative to positive and see how life can change for you. Remember, your attitude toward a situation can help you to change it -- you create the very atmosphere for defeat or victory.

 Oh, what a happy child I am, although I cannot see! I am resolved that in this world, contented I will be!
