Play the game for more than you can afford to lose... only then will you learn the game.

Winston Churchill

I swore to myself that I was never going to lose again, and that's what drives me still. More than money, more than titles, more than fame, it's the desire not to be defeated.

Joe Calzaghe

Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far, did you lose yourself somewhere out there, did you get to be a star, and don't it make you sad to know that life is more than who you are?

John Rzeznik

I know of a few multimillionaires who started trading with inherited wealth. In each case, they lost it all because they didn't feel the pain when they were losing. In those formative first few years of trading, they felt they could afford to lose. You're much better off going into the market on a shoestring, feeling that you can't afford to lose. I'd rather bet on somebody starting out with a few thousand dollars than on somebody who came in with millions.

William Eckhardt

I am disappointed when I lose and don't play well, for example. But it is not so disappointing to lose when you play good. And I never feel I want to put the racquet down and walk away because of losing.

Mats Wilander

You can't afford to lose games. It is always possible that you will not win, but it is the way you play the game.

Georginio Wijnaldum

I've never gone to the Oscars because I can't afford another week away. It is not more important than my husband. It is not more important than my kids.

Angela Ahrendts

WHEN YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT, YOU CAN AFFORD TO KEEP YOUR TEMPER; AND WHEN YOU ARE IN THE WRONG, YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE IT.

Chester Bowles

You know, I think He honestly does care about how we play on the field, more than anything more than win or lose our hearts on the field.

Tim Tebow

I've learned to be more reserved, watch what I'm saying; I got in a little bit of trouble. People tell me 'Never lose that, never lose that,' but then I get in trouble so I have to lose it. I'm trying to keep a little bit; I'm never going to lose who I am, I just gotta tone it down a little bit.

Shia LaBeouf

Managers lose more than they win until they get to the big 10 clubs; then, they start winning a bit more than they lose.

Clarence Seedorf

We cannot afford to lose any more people as a result of hatred.

Clemantine Wamariya

It's awfully important to win with humility. It's also important to lose. I hate to lose worse than anyone, but if you never lose you won't know how to act. If you lose with humility, then you can come back.

Bear Bryant

I have often urged my young friends, when faced with an adversary, to "play polo" with him; i.e., not to go at him bald-headed but to ride side by side with him and gradually edge him off your track. Never lose your temper with him. If you are in the right there is no need to, if you are in the wrong you can't afford to.

Robert Baden-Powell

Some losses are harder to take than others. You can lose and play well. It is when you lose and don't do the things you worked on and don't do what you say you would that is difficult.
