The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose. Life is a learning process and you have to try to learn what's best for you. Let me tell you, life is not fun when you're banging your head against a brick wall all the time.

It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods.
