I have spoken words of hope. But only of hope. Hope is not victory.
Everybody has won, and all must have prizes.
Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a BURNING DESIRE TO WIN, essential to success.
Each day will be triumphant only when your smiles bring forth smiles from others.
Don’t let the victor belong to the spoils.
Defeat is a disease, and victory is the cure.
Courtiers don’t take wagers against the king’s skill. There is the deadly danger of winning.
Business is a game, played for fantastic stakes, and you’re in competition with experts. If you want to win, you have to learn to be a master of the game.
Because people have no thoughts to deal in, they deal cards, and try and win one another’s money. Idiots!
A victory described in detail is indistinguishable from a defeat.
A trial was a game played within certain rigid rules, where the better player won.
