Life has but one true charm: the charm of the game. But what if we're indifferent to whether we win or lose? - Charles Baudelaire The strength I'm looking for isn't the type where you win or lose. I'm not after a wall that'll repel power coming from outside.

Win or lose, you'll always be a princess to me. - Kiera Cass I discovered that in a story I could safely dream any dream, hope any hope, go anywhere I pleased any time I pleased, fight any foe, win or lose, live or die.

For this album I was determined to do it my way. Take my time. I'm gonna win, lose or draw on my own. - Pras Michel All my life my priority was football, football, football.

It doesn't matter who gets what. It's just a matter of doing what it takes to win. - Pau Gasol Blame yourself when things go wrong, and give credit to others when things go right. The process of giving other people credit is what it takes to build a team.

When lives are being spentactual human livesthose high-minded concepts lose their meaning. All that matters is victory. If you have blades, you'll use blades. If you have rocks, you'll use rocks. If there's nothing but sand, you'll throw the damn sand. A true war is only waged when men don't want to live to see what failure looks like. You do what it takes to win. You go wherever necessity takes you. - B Justin Shier I think Hillary and Bill are really liberals at heart. I think that, in addition to being liberals, they are very practical. They have ma...

If we remain humble and hungry, we can win. - Dave Allison In an age robbed of religious symbols, going to the shops replaces going to the church. We have a free choice, but at a price.

I've made peace with myself. Good for you. That's the hardest war of all to win. Didn't say I won.

People sometimes meet that high burden and win libel suits, and in those cases I think they ought to win. - Floyd Abrams Lazy Lob and crazy Cob are weaving webs to wind me.

Okay, okay." I set my hand on top of his and guide it to my chest, so it's right over my heart. "Feel my heartbeat. Can you feel it?" "Yes." "Feel how steady it is?" "It's fast."

Welladay! Welladay! For the winds of May! Love is unhappy when love is away! - James Joyce Where did you wash? the boy thought. The village water supply was two streets down the road.
