Win Quotations
The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Buddha
Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.
Muhammad Ali
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
Winston Churchill
There are no pleasures in a fight but some of my fights have been a pleasure to win.
Muhammad Ali
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.
Confucius
Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.
Benjamin Franklin
Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
William Shakespeare
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Mahatma Gandhi
