He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all.

Miguel de Cervantes

A man who loses his privacy loses everything. And a man who gives it up of his own free will is a monster.

Milan Kundera

If the Christian doesn't get reality right, he loses effectiveness in this life. If the non-Christian doesn't get reality right, he loses much in this life, and everything and the next one. As Jesus put it, "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?"

Greg Koukl

A man loses his sense of direction after four drinks; a woman loses hers after four kisses.

H. L. Mencken

If a man loses one-third of his skin he dies; if a tree loses one-third of its bark, it too dies. If the Earth is a 'sentient being', would it not be reasonable to expect that if it loses one-third of its trees and vegetable covering, it will also die?

Richard St. Barbe Baker

Imagine now a man who is deprived of everyone he loves, and at the same time of his house, his habits, his clothes, in short, of everything he possesses: he will be a hollow man, reduced to suffering and needs, forgetful of dignity and restraint, for he who loses all often loses himself.

Primo Levi

And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Without Liberty, Law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression. Without Law, Liberty also loses its nature and its name, and becomes licentiousness.

James Q. Wilson

One loses everything when one loses one's sense of humor.

Ayn Rand

A wife who loses a husband is called a widow. A husband who loses a wife is called a widower. A child who loses his parents is called an orphan. There is no word for a parent who loses a child. That's how awful the loss is.

Jay Neugeboren

A generation without history is a generation that not only loses a nation's memory but loses a sense of what it's like to be inside a human skin.

Simon Schama

Every man is important if he loses his life;and every man is funny if he loses his hat and has to run after it.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Well . . . he lets it ruin his life. He gets so obsessed with going after the one thing that hurt him that he loses sight of everything else. He becomes isolated from everyone and everything. Paranoid. He feels like he can't trust anyone around him ever. In the end, he loses everything, even his life. And for what? Total stupidity, if you ask me.

Sherrilyn Kenyon

When a free man dies, he loses the pleasure of life. A slave loses his pain. Death is the only freedom a slave knows. That's why he's not afraid of it. That's why we'll win.

Spartacus

He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly.

Khalil Gibran
