And I got out of there without punching anyone, kicking anyone, or breaking down in tears. Some days the small victories are all you achieve.
The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance - and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.
One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.
Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.
Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.
We improve ourselves by victories over ourself. There must be contests, and you must win.
I've grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure.
