However dark and profitless, however painful and weary, existence may have become, life is not done, and our Christian character is not won, so long as God has anything left for us to suffer, or anything left for us to do.
Truman fired the popular Gen. Douglas MacArthur because he disobeyed orders in the Korean War. Johnson knew that he had reached the endgame in Vietnam when Gen.

The architect, Peter Arens who is the monstrous carbuncle architect, not merely did his design which had won a public competition never get built but his practice suffered financially for some years.
Paolo Maldini never won, but he was the best defender in the world. Gianluigi Buffon never won; he was the best goalkeeper in the world for many years. But this is the story of the Ballon d’Or.
When I won the Tony, I blacked out. I don’t remember anything. I had bullet points jotted down, but I forgot to read half of them. My hands were shaking. It was an insane honor to be recognized in that way.
The very rights that we supposedly won for African Americans in the civil rights movement no longer exist for those labeled felons. That’s why I say we have not ended racial caste in America; we’ve merely redesigned it.
I woke up one day and thought, ‘Enough is enough with bullying myself.’ The war is within you, and that’s also where it’s won. You just have to tackle your insecurities and then let them go.
In college, I won the Irene Ryan; it’s kind of like a collegiate Tony, which got my career going. I was honored. I won a fellowship to the Kennedy Center, and that’s where I got my agent.
I missed the final of the World Championships in 2009, but I told the coach I would break the world record in 2010. Which I did. Then in 2011 I won the World Championships and now in 2012 it is the Olympics. That is how I have been working.

The first Indy was definitely the one I remember. It’s my favorite race I’ve ever done. It’s the most memorable race I’ve ever done, for sure. Even more than when I won. I just remember everything about it.
I turned pro and won Rookie of the Year on the South African Tour and then it took me two tries at the qualifying school on the European Tour and to get my card and the rest is history.
One little secret of the guys who have won one slam, is that we don’t want other guys to win one because its like a bit of a special fraternity.
When I used to fight in the amateurs, guys wouldn’t show up for the finals and I won the tournament. They wouldn’t call my name when it was time to get the trophy. They called everyone else’s name. Believe me, you remember things like that. I’d say there was disrespect there. It’s followed me into the pros.
The terrorists haven’t won, and we should tell them in plain English, ‘No, there will never be a mosque at Ground Zero.’

People say, ‘Pep won in Barca, but it was boring,’ or, ‘Pep won in Bayern, but it was boring.’ I understand that. But games won, goals scored, goals conceded, titles… sorry, guys, it was good!
My dad has been to every soccer game that I’ve played in, both at the amateur level and at the professional level, and he always had great things to say whether we won or we lost, whether I felt great or not so great.

I called up and said, ‘Dad, I won a MacArthur.’ My father goes: ‘I always thought your sister would win that,’ and I said, ‘Dad, just say congratulations and keep your private thoughts private.’ At that point he laughed, then burst into tears, and it was obvious that he was so happy and proud.
To join or not to join films was the biggest choice I had to make. I’d done two years of biogenetic engineering, was an economics graduate and a gold medalist. I had also been a Bharatanatyam dancer from age five, always won the best actress award in school. Finally, I decided to do things for my soul, chose to act.
Most beginners who have learned the point system will only consider a sacrifice if it leads directly to checkmate or if the material can be won back by force. A Grandmaster, though, will frequently sacrifice for less tangible compensation, such as a lead in development or a superior pawn structure.
It’s funny that as soon as I retired from international football, Italy won the World Cup.

With the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, the Republican political establishment has done something it is not actually used to doing. It won. It isn’t that Republicans have never won before, it is just that they typically win by forfeit.
I began playing in the senior circuit when I was 15 and won the world senior amateur title the same year.
When the blood of thousands of Americans is shed, the impact lingers. For a generation after the Civil War, the Republican injunction to ‘vote as you shot’ kept the party dominant for decades; from 1868 to 1912, only one Democrat – Grover Cleveland – won the White House.
A surgeon will cut off a limb in order to protect the body from disease. And a commander-in-chief should pull out of a war that cannot be won in order to protect a nation.
Only the mob and the elite can be attracted by the momentum of totalitarianism itself. The masses have to be won by propaganda.
They say getting a show on the air and having it be a success, literally, the odds are like winning the lottery. For me, I’ve won the lottery several times, so I’ve been awfully lucky.
If someone really takes a risk, it doesn’t get dismissed. That’s what happened when the Oscar was won posthumously by Heath Ledger, who did one of the definitive villain performances of all time. But it really has to be exceptional in defining everything we previously knew about the actress or the actor.
The legal battle against segregation is won, but the community battle goes on.
The Oscar made me a star, and I’m grateful. But I feel had I not won the Oscar I wouldn’t have gotten into the messes I did in my personal life.
I always won in my imagination. I always hit the game-winning shot, or I hit the free throw. Or if I missed, there was a lane violation, and I was given another one.

Things won are done, joy’s soul lies in the doing.
As far as I know, no money ever won in a lawsuit by IFPI or the RIAA has even gone to any actual artist.
I owe my success to my two families. If my father hadn’t been willing to make sacrifices for me, I would have never won the role on ‘Everybody Hates Chris’. I like working with my television family, too. We have a lot of love for each other.
I would trade all the individual awards I’ve won for a World Cup.
I told Clinton I want him to rush for 2,000 yards. And I want our team to go to the Super Bowl and win it. I’ve been there and not won it. It’s really simple for me. You get stats, fame and fortune, but if you don’t end up with the ring you’re never satisfied.
