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

Miguel de Cervantes

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

He who suffers in patience, surfers less and saves his soul. He who suffers impatiently, suffers more and loses his soul.

Alphonsus Liguori

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

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

The best test to know whether an entity is real or fictional is the test of suffering. A nation cannot suffer, feel pain or fear, or has no consciousness. Even if it loses a war, the soldier suffers, the civilians suffer, but the nation cannot suffer. Similarly, a corporation cannot suffer, when it loses its value, it doesn't suffer. All these things, they're fictions. If people bear in mind this distinction, it could improve the way we treat one another and the other animals. It's not a good idea to cause suffering to real entities in the service of fictional stories.

Esther Rantzen

I'm different to someone like Jamie Vardy, who is a lot quicker than me but if he loses a yard he loses a large part of his game - whereas I never had the yard in the first place.

Troy Deeney

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

Khalil Gibran

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

James Allen

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

Cate Blanchett

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

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 man suffers death himself as often as he loses those dear to him.

Publilius Syrus

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.
