In 1969 the Khmer Rouge numbered only about 4,000. By 1975 their numbers were enough to defeat the government forces. Their victory was greatly helped by the American attack on Cambodia, which was carried out as an extension of the Vietnam War. In 1970 a military coup led by Lon Nol, possibly with American support, overthrew the government of Prince Sihanouk, and American and South Vietnamese troops entered Cambodia.

One estimate is that 600,000 people, nearly 10 per cent of the Cambodian population, were killed in this extension of the war. Another estimate puts the deaths from the American bombing at 1000,000 peasants. From 1972 to 1973, the quantity of bombs dropped on Cambodia was well over three times that dropped on Japan in the Second World War.

The decision to bomb was taken by Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger and was originally justified on the grounds that North Vietnamese bases had been set up in Cambodia. The intention (according to a later defence by Kissinger's aide, Peter W. Rodman) was to target only places with few Cambodians: 'From the Joint Chiefs' memorandum of April 9, 1969, the White House selected as targets only six base areas minimally populated by civilians. The target areas were given the codenames BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER, SUPPER, SNACK, and DESSERT; the overall programme was given the name MENU.' Rodman makes the point that SUPPER, for instance, had troop concentrations, anti-aircraft, artillery, rocket and mortar positions, ~ Jonathan Glover
Defeat quotes by Jonathan Glover
No defeat, no surrender

Ain't no pockets in a shroud

There is nothing so sure in life as death and taxes ~ Ninette Kelly
Defeat quotes by Ninette Kelly
Long or short, if you worry about every step of a journey, you will divide it endlessly into pieces, any one of which may defeat you. Look only to the end. ~ Robin Hobb
Defeat quotes by Robin Hobb
Dear Night! this world's defeat; The stop to busy fools; care's check and curb; The day of spirits; my soul's calm retreat Which none disturb! Christ's progress, and His prayer-time; The hours to which high Heaven cloth chime. ~ Henry Vaughan
Defeat quotes by Henry Vaughan
I would argue it should be a policy to defeat ISIS where they are, where they exist and prevent them from coming into the United States. ~ Michael McCaul
Defeat quotes by Michael McCaul
They hate people and their stories; they have hated for so long and with such intensity that in the end the darkness enveloped their whole bodies until their shapes were no longer discernible. That is also why they are so difficult to defeat, because they can disappear into walls or into the ground or float up. They're ferocious and bloodthirsty, and if you're bitten by one you don't just die; a far more serious and terrible fate lies in store: you lose your imagination. (talking about shadows) ~ Fredrik Backman
Defeat quotes by Fredrik Backman
There is no more deadly peril than disobedience;
States are devoured by it, homes laid in ruins,
Armies defeated, victory turned to rout.
White simple obedience saves the lives of hundreds
Of honest folk." - Creon ~ Sophocles
Defeat quotes by Sophocles
I may say that this is the greatest factor: the way in which the expedition is equipped, the way in which every difficulty is foreseen, and precautions taken for meeting or avoiding it. Victory awaits him who has everything in order, luck, people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time, this is called bad luck. ~ Roald Amundsen
Defeat quotes by Roald Amundsen
A Warrior's Pledge of Purity
By Jason Lee Morgan

I will have faith that God empowers me for purity
I will have faith that God has something better
I will be encouraged by Your faithfulness
I will sharpen my sword today for purity
I will meditate on purity throughout my day
I will strategize for victory, rather than brace for defeat
I will outline the known of my day
That I may prepare for the pitfalls to come
And preemptively guard against what is known
I will pray before I enter battle
I will pray for protection
I will pray for wisdom
I will pray for strength
I will pray for miracles if need be!
I will take my stand by way of escape
As a coward I shall be in the face of impurity
Only my back shall it see
I will bear the strange appearance of downward eyes
That no impure image be stamped within me
I will go out of my way to avoid the face of impurity
I will hurt the feelings of others if need be, to preserve my purity before You
I will not long for the past, but dwell on what is pure
I will not place others above You as my reason for purity
I will recall Your holiness daily
I will love You with Christ-like love
And sacrifice what is necessary to glorify You
I will recite this daily, that I do not forget Thee ~ Jason Lee Morgan
Defeat quotes by Jason Lee Morgan
If you do the best you can, you have nothing to be ashamed of. A defeat is not a disgrace. ~ Dirk Nowitzki
Defeat quotes by Dirk Nowitzki
Defeat begins with the fear that one has lost. ~ Kobo Abe
Defeat quotes by Kobo Abe
God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance. ~ Aiden Wilson Tozer
Defeat quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
It was a defeat, resorting to crude threats in a game of subtlety, but sometimes one must sacrifice a battle to win the war. ~ Mark Lawrence
Defeat quotes by Mark Lawrence
The general that hearkens to my counsel and acts upon it, will conquer: let such a one be retained in command! The general that hearkens not to my counsel nor acts upon it, will suffer defeat: - let such a one be dismissed! ~ Sun Tzu
Defeat quotes by Sun Tzu
It makes it fun. When an actor plays a character, you want what that character wants. Otherwise it doesn't look authentic. So I really want to defeat Jimmy - I mean Jimmy as the character. ~ Alan Alda
Defeat quotes by Alan Alda
Rather than admit defeat, I decided to change goals. ~ David Sedaris
Defeat quotes by David Sedaris

The agony of defeat is always greater than the pain of preparing for victory. ~ Rick Julian
Defeat quotes by Rick Julian
Every soul ... comes into the world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its' previous life. Its' place in this world as a vessel appointed to honor or dishonor, is determined by its' previous merits or demerits. Its' work in this world determines its' place in the world which is to follow this. ~ Origen
Defeat quotes by Origen
In the very instant of his birth, I associated Kevin with my own limitations - with not only suffering, but defeat. Eva ~ Lionel Shriver
Defeat quotes by Lionel Shriver
In the art of war, if you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the approaching battles. But if you know only yourself and not the enemy, for every victory, there will also be defeat. ~ Emily Thorne
Defeat quotes by Emily Thorne
We need not get distracted by the seeming defeat or troubles of our daily lives ("what is seen"), because this affliction is actually being used by God to transform our character (2 Corinthians 3:18) so we can become the kind of citizens who will flourish in his future kingdom ("what is not seen"). ~ J.P. Moreland
Defeat quotes by J.P. Moreland
Caleb does the mental equivalent of throwing his hands in the air in defeat. I ignore him.

Lyons, Heather (2013-11-17). A Matter of Heart (Fate Series Book 2) (p. 50). Cerulean Books. Kindle Edition. ~ Heather Lyons
Defeat quotes by Heather Lyons
We all know them - the unstructured person whose every action seems aimless and the totally organized person whose every action defeats some purpose. ~ Robert Breault
Defeat quotes by Robert Breault
We participate, without feeling it's significance, to a battle of the free life against the profitable agony.
This battle is not lead the way military do. It never expects neither victory nor defeat, it does not rely on tactics, it mobilizes nor brute force nor the ruse. It is not based on any project, nor any action plan.
It is a battle on between a decay of all things, a weariness of the people that convinced them to die, and the permanent revival of a life that will never give up, permanently claims rights, and progresses through its quiet determination to ignore the obstacles. ~ Raoul Vaneigem
Defeat quotes by Raoul Vaneigem
Of death I am as certain as any mortal, Ammerlin, but defeat is certain only in despair. ~ Elizabeth Moon
Defeat quotes by Elizabeth Moon
You wrote this right?" he said. "It tells how to defeat Set."
Thoth unfolded the papyrus pages. "Oh, dear. I hate reading my old work. Look at this sentence. I'd never write it that way now." He patted his lab coat pockets. "Red pen - does anyone have one?"
Isis chafed against my willpower, insisting that we blast some sense into Thoth. One fireball, she pleaded. Just one enormous magical fireball?
I couldn't say I was tempted, but I kept her under control.
"Since when does drool make you powerful? ~ Rick Riordan
Defeat quotes by Rick Riordan
I am going to have to stick to the script. If I muck around with the words it will defeat the object. ~ Clive Anderson
Defeat quotes by Clive Anderson
Many Christians ... find themselves defeated by the most psychological weapon that Satan uses against them. This weapon has the effectiveness of a deadly missile. Its name? Low self-esteem. Satan's greatest psychological weapon is a gut level feeling of inferiority, inadequacy, and low self-worth This feeling shackles many Christians, in spite of wonderful spiritual experiences and knowledge of God's Word. Although they understand their position as sons and daughters of God, they are tied up in knots, bound by a terrible feeling inferiority, and chained to a deep sense of worthlessness. ~ David A. Seamands
Defeat quotes by David A. Seamands
Avoid head trash. Don't be a garbage can for anything that does not feed your intellect, stimulate your imagination, or make you a more compassionate peaceful person. Refuse to open your mind to other people's trash. Tune out anything that promotes conflict or controversy. This can infect you with a mind virus of cynicism or defeat, and you won't even know it! ~ Les Brown
Defeat quotes by Les Brown
The only world in which "defeat" exists as a reality is the one darkened by the false idea that what may have happened to us a moment ago is the same as what's possible for us to achieve now. ~ Guy Finley
Defeat quotes by Guy Finley
That's the problem of today's generation. You want all the things quickly. You all hate to struggle. You see the life into two extremes, either success or failure, either rich or broke, either victory or defeat. You see the life in all black and white, but there are various shades of gray in-between two extremes of black and white and life happens to be there. ~ HBR Patel
Defeat quotes by HBR Patel
I opposed the war in Iraq because I did not believe it was in our national security interest, and I still don't. What we [America] did was akin to taking a baseball bat to a beehive. Our primary security threat right now is terrorism
and by doing what we did in Iraq, we've managed to alienate a good part of the world and most of the allies whose intelligence and other help we need to combat and defeat terrorism. ~ Jerry Springer
Defeat quotes by Jerry Springer
If a human female was going to defeat a male alpha werewolf, there was only so many thing she could do to accomplish that feat. All of them were batshit. ~ Heather Killough-Walden
Defeat quotes by Heather Killough-Walden
Emulation looks out for merits, that she may exalt herself by a victory; envy spies out blemishes that she may lower another by defeat. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Defeat quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
Beauty is an intangible thing; can not be fixed on the surface, and the wear and tear of old age on the body cannot defeat it. Nor will a "pretty" face make it, for "pretty" faces are often dull and empty, and beauty is never dull and it fills all spaces. ~ Robert Henri
Defeat quotes by Robert Henri
Hope looks for unqualified success; but Faith counts certainly on failure, and takes honorable defeat to be a form of victory. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Defeat quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Shake off the self-pity, shake off the defeat and get ready for God to do something new. He is going to pay you back for every injustice. ~ Joel Osteen
Defeat quotes by Joel Osteen
Be the first to seek to bring good, do not grow accustomed to evil, but defeat it. ~ Pope Francis
Defeat quotes by Pope Francis
As the incidence and fear of rape on college campuses have increased, the term rape has been generalized to mean 'misuse; diminish the effects of; steal; defeat': "I just went to the mall and raped my VISA." "My dad phoned this morning and raped my buzz." "She raped my coat." "Michigan got raped by Carolina in the NCAA final." The extension of the term rape to such contexts ameliorates the word and appears a denial on the part of college students of the seriousness of the crime. ~ Connie C. Eble
Defeat quotes by Connie C. Eble
A cockroach can't defeat a dinosaur. But the cockroach is better at one thing, and it has ensured its survival through the ages: Adaptation. One could adapt to the environment and the other one couldn't. ~ Georges St-Pierre
Defeat quotes by Georges St-Pierre
there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win - and ~ Ayn Rand
Defeat quotes by Ayn Rand
Sexual reproduction exists solely as a means to defeat parasites. By mixing male and female genes, sex produces offspring not exactly like either the male or female - making each generation different from the last, and presenting a moving target to intruders intent on compromising this system. ... Even with this variation, parasites continue to pose a threat ... and parasitism evolves and moves through any system - not just living things. The less variation there is in a system, the more readily parasites will evolve to infest it ... ~ Daniel Suarez
Defeat quotes by Daniel Suarez
Find in Jesus the power to defeat every foe. ~ Katy Kauffman
Defeat quotes by Katy Kauffman
Oh, no," Hope said. "I'm not. No, I don't believe in all that, but it's - well, it's two things. One is my job, you know? In China? So I'm all for that side of it, the war and so on; we really have to, you know, defeat those people. And the other is, uh, my husband. He's from the Highlands and he's half native, as he puts it, and I don't know if you know what the people up there are like, but I swear if he even thought I was going to vote any other way he'd walk out on me. ~ Ken MacLeod
Defeat quotes by Ken MacLeod
Love is like a game of chess. You're white. He's black. You wait for him to make a move, while staring into his handsome, melting-you-on-the-inside eyes, then realize what a dummy he is to not tell you straight out to go first. The beginning is the crush stage. You begin to realize how much you want to defeat him, or make him fall in love with you. By the time you get to the heat of the game, you both moved and are hopefully dating. If you haven't forfeit then because you don't want to be cheated on, you make another move- head on shoulder, hand holding, etc. Black makes another move-he gives you his jacket on a freezing night. By the endgame, he either realizes how stupid he was to play with you and forfeits, or he realizes how smart you are and lets you defeat him (and love you). By the time you win, you're married to him. A happily ever after game of chess. ~ Amrita Ramanathan
Defeat quotes by Amrita Ramanathan
It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated ... it is finished when it surrenders. ~ Ben Stein
Defeat quotes by Ben Stein
I refer to the misunderstanding of Soviet Russia as an aggressive power, militaristically and ideologically bent upon world domination 'seeing', to quote a recent speech of the British Prime Minister, 'the rest of the world as its rightful fiefdom.' How any rational person, viewing objectively the history of the last thirty-five years, could entertain this 'international misunderstanding' challenges, if it does not defeat, comprehension. The notion has no basis in fact ... If Russia is bent on world conquest, she has been remarkably slothful and remarkably unsuccessful. ~ Enoch Powell
Defeat quotes by Enoch Powell
The paralytic on his couch can have if he wants them wider experiences than Stanley slaughtering the savages, the two roomed cottage may enclose an infinitely richer, sweeter domestic harmony than the palace; and the peaceful cotton-spinner win victories beside which those of the reverberating general are dust and ashes -- let us not waster the sacred fire and wear away the tissues in the vulgar pursuit of what others have and we have not; admitting defeat isn't the way to conquer and from every failure imperishable experience survives ~ Alice James
Defeat quotes by Alice James
It Is Very Easy To Defeat Someone, But It Is Very Hard To Win Someone ~ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Defeat quotes by A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
The history of yesterday, and the mysterys of tomorrow will never defeat me when I share the gift of today with others, because inside I know that I am based on a true story ~ Fwah Storm
Defeat quotes by Fwah Storm
We all experience doubts and fears as we approach new challenges. The fear diminishes with the confidence that comes from experience and faith. Sometimes you just have to go for it and see what happens. Jumping into the battle does not guarantee victory, but being afraid to try guarantees defeat ~ Brian Goodell
Defeat quotes by Brian Goodell
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
Defeat quotes by Will Smith
Human nature is the same everywhere; it deifies success, it has nothing but scorn for defeat. ~ Mark Twain
Defeat quotes by Mark Twain
I think in Atlantic Canada, because of what happened in the decades following Confederation, there is a culture of defeat that we have to overcome. ~ Stephen Harper
Defeat quotes by Stephen Harper
It's like a cockroach working up a plan to defeat the shoe on its way down to crush it. ~ Rick Yancey
Defeat quotes by Rick Yancey
Poetry is more than a form of art. It's a vibration and a pulsing heart. Whether it's sour or whether it's sweet. It can give you strength no one can defeat ~ Stanley Victor Paskavich
Defeat quotes by Stanley Victor Paskavich
When he is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something; ... he learns his ignorance, is cured of the insanity of conceit; has got moderation and real skill. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Defeat quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I considered organizing a game of wits - " "Admitting defeat already, are you? Since you're unarmed? ~ Vivian Arend
Defeat quotes by Vivian Arend
Join us in the fight to defeat the Washington machine. It's fun and easy to get started. You can make a difference and change the direction of our country! Join today. ~ Rand Paul
Defeat quotes by Rand Paul
Discouragement is the cancer of great things. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Defeat quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
How much better it is that you defeat anger than that it defeats itself! ~ Seneca.
Defeat quotes by Seneca.
Chess reflects the real world in miniature. Endeavor, struggle, success, and defeat - they are part of each game ever played. ~ Bruce Pandolfini
Defeat quotes by Bruce Pandolfini
...the postwar revolution in America's religious identity had its roots not in the foreign policy panic of the 1950s but rather in the domestic politics of the 1930s and early 1940s. Decades before Eisenhower's inaugural prayers, corporate titans enlisted conservative clergymen in an effort to promote new political arguments embodied in the phrase "freedom under God." As the private correspondence and public claims of the men leading this charge make clear, this new ideology was designed to defeat the state power its architects feared most - not the Soviet regime in Moscow, but Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal administration in Washington. ~ Kevin M. Kruse
Defeat quotes by Kevin M. Kruse
The conflict has become like a Middle East version of the Thirty Years' War in Germany four hundred years ago. Too many players are fighting each other for different reasons for all of them to be satisfied by peace terms and to be willing to lay down their arms at the same time. Some still think they can win and others simply want to avoid a defeat. In Syria, as in Germany between 1618 and 1648, all sides exaggerate their own strength and imagine that temporary success on the battlefield will open the way to total victory. Many Syrians now see the outcome of their civil war resting largely with the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. In this, they are probably right. ~ Patrick Cockburn
Defeat quotes by Patrick Cockburn
When you share love, you defeat hate. ~ Andrew Penman
Defeat quotes by Andrew Penman
Defeat is triumph in disguise. ~ Reba Riley
Defeat quotes by Reba Riley
The first key to leadership was self-control, particularly the mastery of pride, which was something more difficult, he explained, to subdue than a wild lion and anger, which was more difficult to defeat than the greatest wrestler. He warned them that if you can't swallow your pride, you can't lead. ~ Jack Weatherford
Defeat quotes by Jack Weatherford
Healer that she was, creator of medicines and poisons, binder of broken bones, comforter, could she take the remnants here and build them into a man again?

Doro looked at people, healthy or ill, and wondered what kind of young they could produce. Anyanwu looked at the sick - especially those with problems she had not seen before - and wondered whether she could defeat their disease. ~ Octavia E. Butler
Defeat quotes by Octavia E. Butler
The laws of Nature take precedence of all human laws. The purpose of all human laws is one - to defeat the laws of Nature. This is the case among all the nations, both civilized and savage. It is a grotesquerie, but when the human race is not grotesque it is because it is asleep and losing its opportunity. ~ Mark Twain
Defeat quotes by Mark Twain
In the end, Tuesday's vote represented a repudiation of virtually every notion Democrats embraced in recent weeks as they tried to disregard the growing evidence that they were headed for a historic defeat. Now, the vote is in, and the voters' message can no longer be discounted. ~ Byron York
Defeat quotes by Byron York
Frederick Douglass had to teach himself how to read before standing up to defeat slavery. ~ Juan Williams
Defeat quotes by Juan Williams
Let your imagination speculate freely upon many different possible solutions. Refuse to believe that there are any circumstances sufficiently strong to defeat you in the accomplishment of your purpose. ~ Mlungisi Simelane
Defeat quotes by Mlungisi Simelane
The fight ended. For both was victory. For both there was defeat. ~ Anna Wickham
Defeat quotes by Anna Wickham
Idleness leads to relaxation, sooner or later bringing about ideological and material corruption, accompanied by lack of discipline, anarchy chaos and defeat. ~ Samora Machel
Defeat quotes by Samora Machel
In the long term, we've got to defeat an ideology of hate with an ideology of hope. There's a reason why people like (al-Qaida leader Osama) bin Laden are able to recruit suiciders, because if you don't have hope, you're attracted to an ideology which says, it's OK to kill people and kill yourself. ~ George W. Bush
Defeat quotes by George W. Bush
It was a crushing defeat, but it put iron in my backbone and sulphur in my blood. I knew at least what it was to fail. I knew what it was to attempt something big. ~ Henry Miller
Defeat quotes by Henry Miller
That is one of the tricks of opportunity. It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize opportunity. ~ Napoleon Hill
Defeat quotes by Napoleon Hill
Society ... is nothing more than the war of a thousand petty opposed interests, an eternal strife of all the vanities, which, turn in turn wounded and humiliated one by the other, intercross, come into collision, and on the morrow expiate the triumph of the eve in the bitterness of defeat. To live alone, to remain unjostled in this miserable struggle, where for a moment one draws the eyes of the spectators, to be crushed a moment later
this is what is called being a nonentity, having no existence. Poor humanity! ~ Nicolas Chamfort
Defeat quotes by Nicolas Chamfort
Against my will, I became a witness to the most terrible defeat of reason and to the most savage triumph of brutality ever chroniclednever before did a generation suffer such a moral setback after it had attained such intellectual heights. ~ Stefan Zweig
Defeat quotes by Stefan Zweig
Shoulders slumped in defeat, I turned to walk away. The drugstore had caved under the force of my criminal will, but the Coke machine was virtuous. Inviolate. ~ Laura Bickle
Defeat quotes by Laura Bickle
He didn't like the earth, much less forests. He didn't like the sea either, or what ordinary mortals call the sea, which is really only the surface of the sea, waves kicked up by the wind that have gradually become the metaphor for defeat and madness. ~ Roberto Bolano
Defeat quotes by Roberto Bolano
The general of a large army may be defeated, but you cannot defeat the determined mind of a peasant. ~ Confucius
Defeat quotes by Confucius
When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Defeat quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a strange lack of dignity in conquest; the dull, uncomplaining endurance of defeat appears more worthy of congratulation. ~ Vera Brittain
Defeat quotes by Vera Brittain
Because being a fan is not all about the good times when victory makes life better. Dealing with defeat helps mold you as a fan. If you didn't experience the bitter taste of losing, then you wouldn't have any humility. You wouldn't have a heart. You'd be a New York Yankees fan. ~ Mark Tye Turner
Defeat quotes by Mark Tye Turner
Earth is a divine organism
it cannot be successfully manipulated
Who attempts manipulation will encounter defeat ~ Lao-Tzu
Defeat quotes by Lao-Tzu
Now there you have a sample of man's "reasoning powers," as he calls them. He observes certain facts. For instance, that in all his life he never sees the day that he can satisfy one woman; also, that no woman ever sees the day that she can't overwork, and defeat, and put out of commission any ten masculine plants that can be put to bed to her. He puts those strikingly suggestive and luminous facts together, and from them draws this astonishing conclusion: The Creator intended the woman to be restricted to one man. ~ Mark Twain
Defeat quotes by Mark Twain
Grind me, crush me, beat me
But low I shall not lie
I shall bounce back with much more fervour
And my zeal shall touch the sky… ~ Neelam Saxena Chandra
Defeat quotes by Neelam Saxena Chandra
Defeat in itself was part and parcel of the great gambling game of politics. A man who could not accept it and try again was not of the stuff of which leaders are made. ~ Agnes Sligh Turnbull
Defeat quotes by Agnes Sligh Turnbull
Despite Soviet 'defeat' in 1991, the ideas associated with Communism remain shockingly reputable throughout what we still know as the Free World. ~ Diana West
Defeat quotes by Diana West
I watched her cry
drown herself in a flood of tears. It is a great thing to be in the presence of a rational being who cries. A weak, broken creature shedding tears makes the same impression as an all-powerful god to whom one prays. In her weakness and defeat Amy was above human power. ~ Henri Barbusse
Defeat quotes by Henri Barbusse
Our actions in the present build the staircase to the future. The question is whether that staircase is going up or down. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Defeat quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Do you find yourself facing a challenge and too tired to pray? Allow the power of prayer to revive your spirit and restore your physical and mental vigor. By following Nehemiah's example, you will have the energy needed to defeat the enemy and thrive in the midst of your challenges. ~ Lysa TerKeurst
Defeat quotes by Lysa TerKeurst
They did not understand that war, which trained courage and founded the cities of barbarous and ignorant men, brings to victor himself but ruin and misery, and is nothing but a horrible and stupid crime when nations are united together by common bonds of art, science, and trade. ~ Anatole France
Defeat quotes by Anatole France
You shoulda known the entirety of the trap, a**hole,
love means eventual pain
victory means eventual defeat
grace means eventual slovenliness,
there's no way
out ... you see, you
understand? ~ Charles Bukowski
Defeat quotes by Charles Bukowski
The warrior of light knows that everything around him - his victories, his defeats, his enthusiasm and his despondency - form part of his Good Fight. ~ Paulo Coelho
Defeat quotes by Paulo Coelho
A coalition of groups is waging a massive propaganda campaign against the president of the United States. an all-out attack. Their aim is total victory for themselves and total defeat for him. ~ Gerald R. Ford
Defeat quotes by Gerald R. Ford
A technique can only work if it is in harmony with universal principles. Such principles need to be grasped through Mind, pure consciousness. Selfish desires thwart your progress, but Mind, not captivated by notions of victory or defeat, will liberate you. Mind fixes your senses and keeps you centered. Mind is the key to wondrous power and supreme clarity. ~ Morihei Ueshiba
Defeat quotes by Morihei Ueshiba
We cannot bank our hopes on possibilities. We must put our trust in ourselves, in our capabilities and efforts and strength and preparations not only for our success but even to avoid our own defeat. ~ Aung San
Defeat quotes by Aung San
