A Quote by W. H. Auden

In life the loser's score is always zero. — © W. H. Auden
In life the loser's score is always zero.
In a game, just losing is almost as satisfying as just winning... In life the loser's score is always zero.
The only number that would ever be enough is 0. Zero pounds, zero life, size zero, double-zero, zero point. Zero in tennis is love. I finally get it.
My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.
You've got to realize that in any competition there is always a winner and loser. When it turns out that you're the loser on a given day, you can be a graceful loser, but it doesn't mean that you're a loser in the sense that you're willing to accept losses readily. Concede that on that day you weren't the best and that you were beaten in competition. But that should make you more dedicated and hard working. It's wrong to accept defeat as a loser. Be graceful about losing, but don't accept it.
Zero-zero is a big score.
Start thinking positively. You will notice a difference. Instead of 'I think I'm a loser,' try 'I definitely am a loser.' Stop being wishy-washy about things! How much more of a loser can you be if you don't even know you are one? Either you are a loser or you are not. Which is it, stupid?
The Winner is always part of the answer. The Loser is always part of the problem. The Winner always has a program. The Loser always has an excuse. The Winner says, "Let me do it for you." The Loser says, "That's not my job." The Winner sees an answer for every problem. The Loser sees a problem for every answer. The Winner sees a green near every sand trap The Loser sees two or three sand traps near every green. The Winner says, "It may be difficult but it's possible." The Loser says, "It might be possible but it's too difficult." Be a Winner.
I'm a point guard, so I want to see everybody else score and be happy. I don't necessarily need to score at all. I could be happy with zero points as long as it was a team game and everybody contributed.
Definition of Love: A score of zero in tennis. I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears of all my life.
Tim was dead. And he's always been a loser. I'd be damned if I was going to be the victim of a loser - or anyone else.
Loser loser, double loser, whatever, as if, get the picture. DUH!
If [Donald Trump] is paid zero [taxes], that means zero for troops, zero for vets, zero for schools or health.
I don't see the arts as competitive at all. It was a better angel of my nature. Sports is zero-sum: winner, loser, demonstrable.
A zero itself is nothing, but without a zero you cannot count anything; therefore, a zero is something, yet zero.
If you are a loser in this sport, you are a loser also in life.
The loser is always a part of the problem; the winner is always a part of the answer. The loser always has an excuse; the winner always has a program. The loser says it may be possible, but it's difficult; the winner says it may be difficult, but it's possible.
