“Sonya Thomas put on one of the great athletic performances of the year. It was a triumph on par with the great feats witnessed in Athens just weeks ago, and it's going to take an extraordinary effort for her record to be broken.”

“We pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free. Tom Robbins Before you give up hope, turn back and read the attacks that were made on Lincoln.”
Bruce Barton
“Sometimes your trump cards are not going to help you..,but great triumphs are possible even with a mediocre.”

“[Bush can claim one triumph: We have suffered no further attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 (not counting the unsolved anthrax attacks later that fall). Casualties are far fewer, too, than in any other major war in U.S. history since the Revolution.] I do think there's been progress in some areas, ... In the last four years, for example, I think the world has become a tougher place for terrorists to operate in.”
Richard Haass
“You must either conquer and rule or serve and lose, suffer or triumph, be the anvil or the hammer”
