Losing is no disgrace if you've given your best. — © Jim Palmer
Losing is no disgrace if you've given your best.
Failure is not a disgrace if you have sincerely done your best.
I think the TAC was just a disgrace, a disgrace not only to the [health] department but a disgrace to the whole country. But I think, as South Africa, we really demonstrated that we are doing pretty well.
It's wrenching enough to lose the man who is your lover, your companion, your best friend, the father of your children, without losing yourself as well.
Always strive to give your spouse the very best of yourself; not what's leftover after you have given your best to everyone else.
The noble art of losing face may one day save the human race and turn into eternal merit what weaker minds would call disgrace.
There are two ways of doing battle against Disgrace. You may live it down; or you may run away from it and hide. The first method is heart-breaking, but sure. The second cannot be relied upon because of the uncomfortable way Disgrace has of turning up at your heels.
There is no disgrace in honest failure; there is disgrace in fearing to fail
Ultimately, you have to write what's coming at any given point in time. Fighting your instincts for practical reasons is a losing battle.
... women of the North, I ask you to rise up with earnest, honest purpose, and go forward in the way of right, fearlessly, as independent human beings, responsible to God alone for the discharge of every duty, for the faithful use of every gift, the good Father has given you. Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world will say, whether you are in your place or out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, do your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.
Losing your capital is like losing your trousers. It is a real humiliation, and one not to be soon repeated.
We live in a world where losing your phone is more dramatic than losing your virginity
The best kids are going to become the best. But the best thing about it is that you're going to learn lessons in playing those sports about winning and losing and teamwork and teammates and arguments and everything else that are going to affect you positively for the rest of your life.
Work is no disgrace: it is idleness which is a disgrace.
You can only ask someone of their best. That's it. If you lose, and you've given your best, that's how it goes.
I feel that all you can do is give it your absolute best with whatever gifts the universe has given you. And if you make it in some way that other people can recognize, that's fine. But even if you don't quote-unquote make it, you're fine, if you've given it your whole heart and soul. You're totally in sync with your purpose and with the universe. And that's fine.
If you do the best you can, you have nothing to be ashamed of. A defeat is not a disgrace.
