Victory in physical battles requires strength, muscles, and skill; but the fight is never tougher and victory is never sweeter than in the battles over self.
I don’t involve personal biases in my handicapping or wagering. I bet against the Cubs in the 2016 World Series, which tainted the victory a little. It was still incredible to watch.
The white man’s victory soon became complete by fraud, violence, intimidation and murder.
I love to win; but I love to lose almost as much. I love the thrill of victory, and I also love the challenge of defeat.

I enjoy the hunt much more than the ‘good life’ after the victory.
I really believed Obama when he spoke in 2008, but I remember watching his victory speech after this last election and it was the same speech. Exactly the same speech. I felt like he didn’t even believe it anymore. He seemed to be tired of saying the same thing.

As someone who worked hard for a Labour victory in the 90s, do I regret it? Not really. It was bound to happen. And it’ll happen with the next government, and the one after it. Because all governments serve us. They serve the filth.
My military service is the thing I’m most proud of, but when I think of everything happening in the Middle East, I can’t help but tell myself I wish we would have achieved some sort of lasting victory. No one touched that subject before Trump, especially not in the Republican Party.

Every time I get in the ring, I have to give 110 per cent because my opponents have nothing to lose and everything to gain, so I have to make sure I go in there with my A-game and come away with the victory.
In every sport, there will be struggle and obstacles, but a victory which comes easily is no victory.
You have 15-20 years of work for that one throw, that one moment. And I was like, ‘Okay, Lord, this is it – you told me I had the victory. So this is the time to show me’. And I’m going to give it all I have because this is my last throw in the Olympics.
‘It is finished’ will not be, as we know from the tradition of the ordering of these words from the cross, the last words of Jesus. ‘It is finished’ is a cry of victory.

The macro of any negotiation is that the only time you can cut a deal is when both sides are hurting. If either side is – is well and feeling happy, you can’t get a deal. Then they go for victory. You need – if they’re willing to settle for things the other side can live with, it’s because they’re hurting a little bit.
If the tanks succeed, then victory follows.
If a man achieves victory over this body, who in the world can exercise power over him? He who rules himself rules over the whole world.

Victory and defeat are a part of life, which are to be viewed with equanimity.
Great God of the Ants, thou hast granted victory to thy servants. I appoint thee honorary Colonel.
One of the many misconceptions about Trump’s victory in 2016 was that he won only because people disliked Hillary Clinton. While she was strongly disliked, so was he. The differences in policy should not be overlooked.
I cannot sit here and say I was beaten by Carol Miller. Because Carol Miller did not show up. She did not debate me. She basically avoided everything and just said, ‘I’m with Trump, I’m with Trump.’ And sadly, that’s apparently a victory here in a place like southern West Virginia.
The Greatest Living Yankee is Whitey Ford, who came out of Aviation High School, which was then in Manhattan, and helped pitch the Yankees to victory in the 1950 World Series when he was 21.

Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater.
With Barack, there’s an emotional need to succeed, to win, to obtain victory. He always believes that he’s the smartest person in the room.
I loved ‘Casablanca.’ You know, right vs. wrong. I think I like a movie where there is a victory, right over wrong, but there’s always some price to be paid.
That first victory, before you get to it, it always seems so far ahead. You’re not sure whether you can make it or not. Once you do, obviously it’s a relief, but it also helps you to then deal better once you are in the lead of a race.
I think coaches should get the same amount of credit in victory that they get in defeat.
There are only two roads, victory for the working class, freedom, or victory for the fascists which means tyranny. Both combatants know what’s in store for the loser.

Wars of aggression are popular nowadays with those nations convinced that only victory and conquest could improve their material well-being.
