Quote by Swami Prabhupada

We may live for a hundred years, but not one moment of these hundred years can be returned, not even if we are prepared to pay millions of dollars. We cannot add a moment, nor can we get a moment back. If time is money, we should just consider how much money we have lost.

He was, first and last, the born fighter, to whom the consciousness of being matched against a great adversary suffices and who can dispense with success.

And, at the worst, there is that in us which can turn defeat into victory.
