Defeat is simply a signal to press onward.

Helen Keller

Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

Marilyn vos Savant

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal

Napoleon Hill

It is defeat that turns bone to flint; it is defeat that turns gristle to muscle; it is defeat that makes men invincible.

Henry Ward Beecher

Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.
