don't sing triumph before you have conquered falling hurts least those who fly low finders keepers the harder the battle, the sweeter the victory he conquers twice who conquers himself he that runs fastest gets the ring it is a great victory that comes without blood it is no disgrace to fall down – the disgrace is in not getting up and going ahead it is the part of a good general to talk of success, not of failure losers are always in the wrong quotation confesses inferiority the real and lasting victories are those of peace and not of war sometimes the best gain is to lose stoop to conquer they conquer who believe they can to the victor belong the spoils we all have our ups and downs when two dogs are fighting for a bone, a third runs away with it a worm is about the only thing that does not fall down you can't win them all Bacchus has drowned more than Neptune and has killed more than Mars dignity is one thing that can't be preserved in alcohol drunken days have all their tomorrows drunkenness is voluntary madness drunkenness reveals what soberness conceals he that spills the rum loses that only; he that drinks it often loses that and himself sweet's the wine, but sour's the payment there are more old drinkers than old doctors water is the only drink for a wise man whisky make rabbit hug lion a young drunkard, an old pauperEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > _перемога і поразка
