Surrender and defeat

“It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. 

The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated...it is finished when it surrenders.”

-   Ben Stein

“But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them.

But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams

than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.”
- Paulo Coelho
