Do not be afraid of defeat. You are never so near victory as when you are defeated in a good cause.
In engineering, that only is great which achieves. It matters not what the intention is, he who in the day of battle is not victorious is not saved by his intention.
Victories that come cheap are cheap. Those only are worth having which come as the result of hard fighting.
It is defeat that turns bone to flint; it is defeat that turns gristle to muscle; it is defeat that makes men invincible. Do not then be afraid of defeat. You are never so near to victory as when defeated in a good cause.
Next to victory, there is nothing so sweet as defeat, if only the right adversary overcomes you.
Victories are easy and cheap. The only victories worth anything are those achieved through hard work and dedication.
