“Who misses, or who wins the prize?Go, lose and conquer as you can:But if you fail, or if you rise,Be each, pray God, a gentleman.”
William Makepeace Thackeray
“I'd rather live alone than lose somebody, because good memories are always the painful ones...”

“All honor to him who shall win the prize,'The world has cried for a thousand years;But to him who tries and fails and dies,I give great honor and glory and tears.”
Joaquin Miller
“I did not win the Nobel Fart Prize”
Bart Simpson
“There were 55 winners of prizes valued up to $1 million in Lotto's Christmas promotion, 27 Winning Wheel winners, averaging $200,000 per win, including two players who spun and won $1 million each.”
John Goulter
“Lindbergh made the flight to win a prize, not as a personal objective. I really saw the power of that prize written out for me in hard numbers: Nine teams spent [a combined] $400,000 to win that $25,000. It occurred to me that what space really needed was a prize to compel folks to build the ships that would take the rest of us there.”
Peter Diamandis
“Tickets only cost $1 and it only takes one ticket to win. If you took your prize in annual payments, after Uncle Sam gets his cut, you would still have more than $100 million to spend on any dream you could imagine.”
