You can’t win unless you try to win, but you can lose by trying not to lose.

We must substitute courage for caution.

Victory has a hundred fathers, but defeat is an orphan.

Out spoke the victor then, As he hail'd them o'er the wave, Ye are brothers! ye are men! And we conquer but to save; So peace instead of death let us bring; But yield, proud foe, let us bring; With the crews, at England's feet, And make submission meet To our King.

Sometimes standing against evil is more important than defeating it. The greatest heroes stand because it is right to do so, not because they believe they will walk away with their lives. Such selfless courage is a victory in itself.

The sound of victory is sweet
