Quote by George Orwell

Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible.

Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invi

Summary

This quote suggests that the current victor or successful person often appears unstoppable or unbeatable. People tend to perceive those who are currently winning as possessing exceptional strength, skills, or advantages that make their success appear unbeatable. However, this notion can be misleading as circumstances can change, and what may seem invincible now can be defeated in the future. It reminds us to remain cautious of such appearances and not underestimate the potential of others to overcome challenges and achieve their own victories.
