Quote by Christy Mathewson

You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat.

You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything

Summary

This quote suggests that success, or victories, teach us very little in comparison to failure, or defeats. When we achieve something, we might not critically analyze our actions and mistakes because we attribute our success to our abilities or luck. However, when we face defeat, we are more likely to reflect on our shortcomings, identify our mistakes, and learn from them. Failure exposes our weaknesses and offers valuable lessons that can lead to personal growth and future success. Thus, the quote highlights the importance of embracing failure as a pathway to acquiring knowledge and wisdom.

The Iraq war was fought by one-half of one percent of us. And unless we were part of that small group or had a relative who was, we went about our lives as usual most of the time: no draft, no new taxes, no changes. Not so for the small group who fought the war and their families.
