My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories.
Big defeats make us learn.
We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.
Were you to read the British press today, you would learn that the British Empire never forgets its defeats.
Jews survived all the defeats, expulsions, persecutions and pogroms, the centuries in which they were regarded as a pariah people, even the Holocaust itself, because they never gave up the faith that one day they would be free to live as Jews without fear.
Some days the competition would beat me and I'd go home thinking awful thoughts, want to hide under the bed, depressed. But of course, in the news business, when you're working a daily news broadcast, you get your victories and defeats every day.
Every adult, whether he is a follower or a leader, a member of a mass or of an elite, was once a child. He was once small. A sense of smallness forms a substratum in his mind, ineradicably. His triumphs will be measured against this smallness; his defeats will substantiate it.
I don't think you should feel guilty about pleasure. Defeats the purpose.
Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.
Censorship always defeats it own purpose, for it creates in the end the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion.
