All GAUTAMA BUDDHA Quotes about “Defeat”

“When you move your focus from competition to contribution life becomes a celebration. Never try to defeat people, just win their hearts.”
“Victory breeds hatred; the defeated live in pain. The peaceful live happily, giving up victory and defeat.”
“Love yourself and be awake- Today, tomorrow, always. First establish yourself in the way, Then teach others, And so defeat sorrow. To straighten the crooked You must first do a harder thing- Straighten yourself. You are your only master. Who else? Subdue yourself, And discover your master.”
“A victor only breeds hatred, while a defeated man lives in misery, but a man at peace within lives happily, abandoning up ideas of victory and defeat.”
“Greater in battle than the man who would conquer a thousand-thousand men, is he who would conquer just one â€” himself. Better to conquer yourself than others. When you've trained yourself, living in constant self-control, neither a deva nor gandhabba, nor a Mara banded with Brahmas, could turn that triumph back into defeat.”
“One is not a great one because one defeats or harms other living beings. One is so called because one refrains from defeating or harming other living beings.”
