For a man to conquer himself is the first and
noblest of all victories...
The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by
yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.
~
Plato
Those who have conquered
themselves...live in
peace, alike in cold and heat, pleasure and
pain, praise and blame...To such people a clod of dirt, a stone, and
gold are the same...Because they are impartial, they rise to great
heights...

Bhagavad Gita
If a man should
conquer in battle a thousand and a thousand more, and another man
should conquer himself, his would be the greater victory, because
the greatest of victories is the victory over oneself; and neither
the gods in heaven above nor the demons down below can turn into
defeat the victory of such a man.

happiness
of life consists not in fighting battles but in avoiding them. A masterly
retreat is in itself a victory.

failure is not fatal: it is the
courage to
continue that counts.
~
Winston Churchill
Winning is about overcoming. Whatever
stretch goal you are striving to achieve, whether you are working on a
challenging project, or trying to solve a difficult problem, or fighting
a powerful enemy, or correcting your own personal weaknesses, you are a
winner if you manage to overcome all the obstacles and make your dream a
reality.

We
believe that economics does not necessarily have to
be a zero-sum game; it can be a
win-win proposition for everyone involved so
long as they have the tools in which to succeed.
~ Ron Kind
Pick
battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.
~ Jonathan Kozol
If
we're going to conquer our opponents, we must first
conquer our own fears.
