A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost. — © Jean-Paul Sartre
A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.

My final words of advice to you are educate, agitate and organize; have faith in yourself. With justice on our side I do not see how we can loose our battle. The battle to me is a matter of joy. The battle is in the fullest sense spiritual. There is nothing material or social in it. For ours is a battle not for wealth or for power. It is battle for freedom. It is the battle of reclamation of human personality.
Whither depart the souls of the brave that die in the battle, Die in the lost, lost fight, for the cause that perishes with them?
I believe in the battle-whether it's the battle of a campaign or the battle of this office, which is a continuing battle.
