Quote by Polybius

Those who know how to win are much more numerous than those who know how to make proper use of their victories

Those who know how to win are much more numerous than those

Summary

This quote suggests that while many people have knowledge or skills that enable them to achieve success or win, a considerably smaller number possess the wisdom and ability to effectively utilize their victories. In other words, winning may be an accomplishment, but knowing how to leverage that victory or make the most of it requires a higher level of expertise. This implies that the true measure of success lies not solely in winning, but in how one uses their triumph to bring about further growth, progress, or positive outcomes.

She was sitting up now. My arm was around her and she was leaning back against me, and we were quite calm. She was looking into my eyes with that way she had of looking that made you wonder whether she really saw out of her own eyes. They would look on and on after every one else's eyes in the world would have stopped looking. She looked as though there were nothing on earth she would not look at like that, and really she was afraid of so many things,
