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

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

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

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

Khalil Gibran

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?"

The fighter loses more than his pride in the fight; he loses part of his future. He's a step closer to the slum he came from.

Floyd Patterson

Whoever loses the capability for inner silence, loses contact to himself and soon won't be able to think clearly any more.

Thomas Metzinger

A leader who loses his connection to his people soon loses the ability to lead them.

Robert Ley

...a private who loses a rifle suffers far greater consequences than a general who loses a war.

Paul Yingling

Any industry loses its innovation and loses its access to creative juices if you don't have progressive thinking and diversity.

Cate Blanchett

Nature gives all, without reservation, and loses nothing; man or woman, grasping all, loses everything.

James Allen

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

If a man loses a dear friend, he looks around and sees many friends come to console and comfort him. If a man loses his wealth, after a little thought he will realize that the delight that came from wealth will be restored by finding more. Thus he forgets his loss and is consoled. But if a man's heart is deprived of peace, where will he find it again, how will he replace it?

Khalil Gibran

Big business depends entirely on the patronage of those who buy its products: the biggest enterprises loses its power and its influence when it loses its customers.
