Image
For an adult, eating alone at McDonald's is admitting a kind of defeat.
Jonathan Carroll
Image
There are certain things we come into this world having to defeat. And for me, and I would not be surprised if a lot of women feel this same way, it's this thing of not being 100 percent comfortable with myself.
Alicia Keys
Image
Every man meets his Waterloo at last.
Wendell Phillips
Image
I have learned a lot through defeats, and, until today, it's - I'm still haunted by defeats, and they do happen. Sometimes, a film of mine is rejected. And how do you deal with it? And you have to learn how to deal with it and survive anyway.
Werner Herzog
Image
He knows that as long as a man keeps his faith in God and in himself nothing can permanently defeat him.
Wilferd Peterson

The tribunal here and your American newspapers talk so much about our sharp Nazi methods, but do you realize that within the past year, since the defeat of Germany, 1 million Germans have been evicted from what was originally German territory and which has now been given to Poland?

Alfred Rosenberg

My biggest emotional defeat and the greatest emotional pain I've had as an actor was when Wild Wild West opened up to $52 million. The movie wasn't good. And it hurt so bad to be the No. 1 movie - to open at $52 million - and to know the movie wasn't good.
Will Smith

But it is the fear, not the writing that defeats me. Everything is not a masterpiece.
Pearl Cleage
Image
No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats…these are the facts.
Alexander Trocchi
Image
Through every generation of the human race there has been a constant war, a war with fear. Those who have the courage to conquer it are made free and those who are conquered by it are made to suffer until they have the courage to defeat it, or death takes them.
Alexander the Great
Image
To surprise the enemy is to defeat him.
Alexander Suvorov

To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility - these are marks of maturity and graciousness.
William Arthur Ward
Image
Delays, disappointments and defeats cause quitters to give up in resignation losers, to give in the frustration winners, to come through with determination.
William Arthur Ward
Image
Only air power can defeat air power. The actual elimination or even stalemating of an attacking air force can be achieved only by a superior air force.
Alexander P. de Seversky
Image
When human laws contradict or discountenance the means, which are necessary to preserve the essential rights of any society, they defeat the proper end of all laws, and so become null and void.
Alexander Hamilton
Image
The real fighter knows perfectly well that there is no difference between victory and defeat, friend and enemy, day and night, life and death.
William C. Brown
Image
India has always had a strange way with her conquerors. In defeat, she beckons them in, then slowly seduces, assimilates and transforms them.
William Dalrymple
Image
Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat- and I expect us to do that.
Alex Ferguson
Image
The phenomenon of war is its hermaphroditism: the principles of victory and of defeat inhabit the same body and the necessary opponent, enemy, is merely the bed they self-exhaust each other on.
William Faulkner
Image
But there are still people whose moral superiority defeats your own.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Image
It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.
