Something inspirational:

“You’ll come to see that a man learns nothing from winning. The act of losing, however, can elicit great wisdom. Not least of which is, uh… how much more enjoyable it is to win. It’s inevitable to lose now and again. The trick is not to make a habit of it.”

  2. I totally agree with this quote. Losing keeps us balanced and affords us the opportunity to gain wisdom from defeat.

    Divine laws aren't designed for us to win at every turn. Losing keeps us humble and more appreciative.

  3. What a great quote. We would learn nothing from winning at everything. Losing, however, teaches us much about life and about how we need to grow through our experiences.
