Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past.
Walker Percy
Image
The most important lesson I've learned from sports is how to be not only a gracious winner, but a good loser as well. Not everyone wins all the time, as a matter of fact, no one wins all the time. Winning is the easy part, losing is really tough. But, you learn more from one loss than you do from a million wins. You learn a lot about sportsmanship.
Amy Van Dyken
Image
There isn't heartache if there hasn't been joy. I wouldn't feel loss if there hadn't been love.
Amy Harmon
Image
Can we accept the unexplained, the loss, The crushing agony, and hold us still. And nowhere is that clearer vision given Which pierces a bewildering providence, And opens windows upon highest heaven, But where we see Suffering Omnipotence.
Amy Carmichael
Image
I know that right choices by definition are the means by which life crystallizes loss.
Amor Towles
Image
I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have-life itself.
Walter Inglis Anderson
Image
The unions are the first feeble effort to conquer the industrial jungle for democratic life. They may not succeed, but if they don't their failure will be a tragedy for civilization, a loss of cooperative effort, a baulking of energy, and the fixing in American life of a class-structure.
Walter Lippmann
Image
LOSS, n. Privation of that which we had, or had not. Thus, in the latter sense, it is said of a defeated candidate that he lost his election.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Every minute that we lose will cost us great losses later that we will not be able to afford.
Walter Model
Image
LIFE, n. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay. We live in daily apprehension of its loss yet when lost it is not missed.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Men endure the losses that befall them by mere casualty with more patience than the damages they sustain by injustice.
Walter Raleigh
Image
In the business world, unwise men take more that they give. They do not realize that they are breaking the Universal Law which will eventually break them to an equal extent. It may not be balanced in the form of dollars and cents but in the loss of good-will upon which their future business depends.
Walter Russell
Image
We have all lost our possessions and many of us our homes, he said. But these losses, severe though they may seem, remind us of what no person can take, and that is our minds and our imaginations.
Lloyd Jones
Image
The one process now going on that will take millions of years to correct is the loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats. This is the folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us.
E. O. Wilson
Image
The essential role of the environment is still marginal in discussions about poverty. While we continue to debate these initiatives, environmental degradation, including the loss of biodiversity and topsoil, accelerates, causing development efforts to falter.
Wangari Maathai
Image
There are constant cycles in history. There is loss, but it is always followed by regeneration. The tales of our elders who remember such cycles are very important to us now.
Carmen Agra Deedy
Image
I mourn the loss of the gigantic screen, but I guess you can't have everything.
Warren Beatty
Image
I think the heartbreak of September 11 - America's grief not only over the loss of life but also the loss of our own innocence -has expanded us as people because it has tenderized our hearts. On a psychological level, the American people have matured as a result of that awful day.
Marianne Williamson
Image
My heart should be breaking, too, but there comes a point when you’re so inured to loss that you no longer feel the lash.
Ann Aguirre
Image
The first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule.
Warren Buffett
Image
I would rather sustain the penalties resulting from over-conservatism than face the consequences of error, perhaps with permanent capital loss, resulting from the adoption of New Era philosophy where trees really do grow to the sky.
Warren Buffett
Image
Sometimes--sometimes it just hits me, you know? And, it's not getting any easier. I choke, my eyes flooding all over again. I'm not sure that it will. I think you just get used to the feeling, the hollowness, the loss, and somehow learn to live around it
Alyson Noel
Image
You never know what you have till you've lost it.

As a group, housewives to-day suffer more from social isolation and loss of purpose than any other social group, except, perhaps, the old.
