Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.

Horace Mann

When the people contend for their liberty, they seldom get anything by their victory but new masters.

Sir George Savile

There are always survivors at a massacre. Among the victors, if nowhere else.

Lois McMaster Bujold

One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.

Another such victory over the Romans, and we are undone.

Pyrrhus

The best victory is when the opponent surrenders of its own accord before there are any actual hostilities...It is best to win without fighting.

Sun Tzu

Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more.

We improve ourselves by victories over ourself. There must be contests, and you must win.

Edward Gibbon

Victory belongs to the most persevering.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.

Abraham Lincoln

A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory.

Arthur Golden

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

Polybius

There are victories of the soul and spirit. Sometimes, even if you lose, you win.

Elie Wiesel

On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days and other fields will bear the fruits of victory.

General Douglas MacArthur

In war there is no substitute for victory.

General Douglas MacArthur

Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

General Douglas MacArthur

Victory has a thousand fathers; defeat is an orphan.

John F. Kennedy

Until victory always.

Ernesto 'che' Guevara

Arms are instruments of ill omen. . . . When one is compelled to use them, it is best to do so without relish. There is no glory in victory, and to glorify it despite this is to exult in the killing of men. . . . When great numbers of people are killed, one should weep over them with sorrow. When victorious in war, one should observe mourning rites.

Lao tzu

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.

Mahatma Gandhi

Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.

Herodotus

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt

Far better is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

Nelson Mandela

Exile, for no other motive than ease, would be the last defeat, with no seed of future victory in it.

Lois McMaster Bujold

Insight into the two selves within a man clears up many confusions and contradictions. It was our understanding that preceded our victory.

Vernon Howard

What is the highest secret to victory and peace? To will what God wills, and strike a league with destiny.

William R. Alger

I hold a beast, an angel and a madman in me, and my enquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, downthrow and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression.

Dylan Thomas

If I want to be great I have to win the victory over myself... self-discipline.

Harry S Truman

Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.

William S. Burroughs

The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress.

Joseph Joubert

The great victory of April 30 represents the triumph of the entire nation, of justice over brutality and of humanity over tyranny.

Ho Chi Minh

If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory.

William Hazlitt

The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.

Pierre De Coubertin

I realized that potato chips were no longer a choice for me, I just didn't want them. I stepped back and realized that was a little victory. That day, I went out and bought a pair of shoes to celebrate!

Palma Posillico

If he gets off, it will be a huge moral victory ... not just for him, but for all the other groups pushing a hard-line agenda. The ripple effect will be tremendous.

Ken Conboy

We lost 357 (Red River) jobs, and that's 357 items of disaster for a family in this day and time of expensive cars and high home payments and things. We can't consider it a victory when we have that many losses.

Ralph Hall

Our aim was always to reach a consensus to ensure a victory in the referendum.

Hajim Al hasani

Another such victory, and we are undone.

Pyrrhus

With the Giants desperate for a victory, it was an obvious strategy for them to pitch around the Tigers' most potent hitter.

William Kelly

It (court verdict) is a victory to the mill owners and real estate companies but it is an irreversible loss to the city.

Shyam Chainani

To get a big victory like this, going into a game like that (on Saturday at Michigan), is definitely a confidence booster for everybody.

Kammron Taylor

He becomes a very dangerous kid. Some kids may not know his name, but they might get to recognize him when he gets his hand raised [after a victory].

Patrick Darby

Our victory is as pure as a diamond.

Velimir Ilic

Looking back, I'm almost happy I lost that fight. Just imagine if I would have come back to Germany with a victory. I had nothing to do with the Nazis, but they would have given me a medal. After the war I might have been considered a war criminal.

Max Schmeling

Next year we are definitely going to work harder on preparing for our first-round match, pull out a victory and take it from there.

Ryan Russell

Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory.

Arthur Ashe

We knew we'd be in this position a week ago. Hopefully the kids will take some pride in all the success we've had in that gym and end it with a great victory or at least a great effort.

Robert Bristow

Resounding victory for the music industry.

Michael Speck

If we carry this level of play into this weekend, I think we will get our first victory.

Keith Tucker

Glittering victory ... elegant and beautiful.

Alexander Lukashenko

This is a victory ... for smart planning. Oahu is hitting some real limits to growth. From traffic gridlock to groundwater resources, the impacts of sprawling growth will impact everyone's quality of life.

Jeff Mikulina

I was hoping to get one victory down low, but when we came up with two, that was huge.

Larry Goodnature

This bloody past suggests to us that enemies cease hostilities only when they are battered enough to acknowledge that there is no hope in victory - and thus that further resistance means only useless sacrifice.

Victor Davis Hanson

I can honestly say that we as the coaching staff tried to impress upon the players beforehand that victory was not the most important thing in this first game. In this competition you can get lucky and win here and there, but if you don't start to consistently produce quality high-class performances, then you go nowhere.

Dick Muir

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams.

Og Mandino

Foreign investors actively bought... towards the end of the year after seeing the overwhelming victory of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in the general election.

Masatoshi Sato

(Bush) said we won't stop until victory, but what does victory look like and how many sons and daughters are going to have to die and lose limbs?

Burt Cohen

Therefore beauty is the true monument and spoil of the victory of the soul, when she with heavenly influence beareth rule over material and gross nature, and with her light overcometh the darkness of the body.

Thomas Hoby

We are going to organize a big celebration on Saturday evening after your victory.

Faure Gnassingbe

I want to invite the premier to lower his tone and stop what appears to be a real strategy of tension, an undermining of the electoral victory that increases the bitterness.

Massimo D'alema

I appreciate the support, ... This victory moves me closer to my goal to become the first Irish-born heavyweight champion of the world.

Kevin Mcbride

He's a good athlete with game-changing ability, ... Sometimes we use him as a decoy. He also plays both ways all the time and has one interception for a 100-yard touchdown (in a 48-20 victory over Briggs on Sept. 2).

Todd Boyd

There was a different kind of pressure last year. We lost a game to Kitchener and people were saying, 'What's going on?' This year, we're more the underdog compared to last year and it would almost be a sweeter victory if we can do it.

Dylan Hunter

This is a very important victory ... because it ensures that the proceedings will be scrutinized by people in Canada and throughout the world, to make sure that the law is applied fairly and properly and, above all, to make sure that Bush doesn't get away with torture.

Gail Davidson

Waving the flag at the 1976 Olympics wasn't my idea. It was too much apple pie and ice cream. Not that I don't love my country, but I felt it was my victory up there, I put all the time into it.

Bruce Jenner

He didn't have command of his pitches like in other games, but he battled and pitched well in tough situations. It was a hard-fought pitching victory for Donnie. He battled and came through with key outs when we needed it, despite not having real good command of his pitches.

Joe Hughes

We represent the CVAC, but we also represent Coker. I'm happy for the win, but I'm also happy that we conducted ourselves with class in victory, as well as defeat.

Dave Schmotzer

There will be a victory.

Viktor Yanukovich

It's the third time we've been down there and it's the first time we've won all three. It was nice to get that victory on Friday and beat the defending state champions last night [Saturday].

Ron Eastman

This was another superb victory for Mitsubishi and a great team effort on a very hard and long rally. Our drivers, co-drivers and mechanics worked superbly as a team. It was valuable experience for the future on an event that I thought was harder than last year. Some of the terrain was spectacular and very difficult. The dunes were particularly tricky.

Dominique Serieys

We were expecting a victory but things happened. We aren't going to point fingers. You have to win on everything, offense and defense.

Lawrence Gordon

This is really a moral victory for the banking industry, because we believe the credit unions were breaking the law and the Supreme Court affirmed that.

Janet Eissenstat

It was a much needed victory for the national movement because we've experienced so many defeats over the last year over marriage equality. It shows that dogged grassroots organizing can lead to crucial wins at a statewide level.

Matt Foreman

Without a plan, there's no attack. Without attack, no victory.

Curtis Armstrong

Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat.

Malcolm S. Forbes

Only during a 70-17 victory over Arkansas could one player be text messaging friends while two others spoke to fans in the stands during the fourth quarter at the Coliseum. Of course, two awful opponents might create a deceptive impression.

Scott Wolf

I don't know that I would call it a victory quite yet, ... but it is at least a step in the right direction. People deserve to know what is happening here.

Gail Davidson

Any time you really get whipped by an opponent, you have extra motivation to go out and prove not only that you can compete with them, but you can actually pull out a victory.

Tommy Richardson

To come here and come away with the victory that's big for us.

Pinball Clemons

It's a great victory for the people. It's time to end secrecy in government.

George Barrett

Is a victory for our neighborhood.

Julian Schnabel

This is what we have been working for, ... It was a tough team victory.

Jose Gomez

Cal Am and Dugan acted like they got a big victory but it made no difference in the ballot argument.

Jim Mosher

The Master of Life's been good to me. He has given me strength to face past illnesses, and victory in the face of defeat. He has given me life and joy where other saw oblivion. He Has given new purpose to live for, new services to render and old wounds to heal.Life and love go on, let the music play.

Johnny Cash

We are set for a repeat performance, ... For this race we are flying the Stockton Dodge colors on our 08 Dodge and we want to put their banner right in Victory Lane.

Scott Lynch

The manner of the victory was very satisfying. The players were up for it, were hungry and displayed aggression while Birch was outstanding.

Bill Midgley

It feels great; my girls got a victory for the old man. We played very well, particularly in the second half.

Willie Thomas

I have great respect for the program at St. Ignatius. That's what makes this victory all the sweeter.

Adam Lechner

This has been going on for years and years and years, but it's over now. We see this as a huge victory for the business community, especially in an industry that represents the No. 1 employer in the state of Florida.

Carol Dover

She is trying to keep her troops in line and stay on message, so not to let victory slip out of reach.

Chris Burns

(The win) was much needed. We played well in spurts, got kind of relaxed, but pulled out the victory.

Terry Beauford

We always wanted House of Blues to do a venue here. But, it wasn't until they saw all the momentum at Victory that they were ready to make a commitment.

Jonas Woods

This is a total victory, everything we requested from the court. We did not want any confidential source to be identified and we did not want to produce any reporter's notes. That's what the judge provided.

Ralph Kates

Every victory is special.

Judith Arndt

The right hand I connected with opened the victory. I want Mayweather next.

Carlos Baldomir

This is a wonderful, wonderful day -- a victory for all of higher education, because what it means at its core is that affirmative action may still be used and the court's given us a road map to get there.

Mary Sue Coleman

This is our third straight win and to win on the road like this is a nice victory.

Tim Ricketts

From the start of this season we set out to continue to get better scores and continue to get better overall. Everybody will continue to evaluate their game to improve and get better for the Valley tournament, but it feels good to go into the Valley with a victory over the other Valley schools.

Pina Gentile

It was a very important victory for Porto. In the Champions League the smaller teams can beat the biggest. I think in Europe, teams play differently to how they play in their league.

Nuno Gomes

That game was a huge win for us. It really got our confidence up because we were able to rally and win the game. Those kinds of wins have such a positive effect on the team because it brings us all together. Everyone on the team played well that day, and it showed with the victory.

Megan O'brien

No. It's working out of a hole. We need this victory. We really do need this victory.

Chris Claiborne

The French team is working well now. (Last month's 1-0) victory over Ireland has given us confidence. At one stage the boat did start to take water a bit and was starting to sink. It wasn't a crisis ... a changing of generations, establishing a new status.

Gregory Coupet

Although the retreat of the Zionist regime from Gaza is short of Palestinian rights and demands, it is however a big victory that shows the inability of the occupier regime of Qods (Jerusalem).

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

It's a little bit premature to be declaring victory until we've had a large enough number of clinical trials and enough people treated for long periods of time to understand the risk-to-benefit ratio better.

Charles Hennekens

Alex Knight was a big victory for us. It was a bit of redemption for Olympus. He beat Ryan Gonzales of Payson, who was a defending champion, and two years ago Gonzales beat a guy from Olympus that was a defending champ. It felt good to kind of get a payback.

Dave Vandeveegaete

The prime minister has decided to contest the result and to use a 'mutilated victory' as a long-term weapon.

Massimo Franco

As one who has supported every great foreign policy initiative from Kennedy to Reagan, I reject the isolationist label, especially when made by those who spent their youthful careers marching against the Cold War policies that brought us victory.

Pat Buchanan

If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless.

Robert H. Schuller

It is an incumbent president in a situation where a great part of the nation experiences that it is in war with terrorism, ... The economy is moving in the right direction. These two issues together should have given Bush a clear victory. Despite this, it was very narrow. This shows that the U.S. is divided.

Goeran Persson

What an emotion-packed weekend. Team Cadillac did a fantastic job. They rebuilt Andy Pilgrim's car on Thursday and then they rebuilt Max Papis' car during the race. Ron Fellows brought home a victory for Cadillac again today, and it's great for the series that the championship is going down to the final race.

Jim Taylor

The House of Representatives recently passed an ESA reform bill that promises to give property owners 100 percent direct compensation for their lost rights. Incredibly, Senator Crapo's bill seeks to undo this. For property rights advocates, CRESA snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

Peyton Knight

That was a very physical game. Amarillo is a very good team, and we're fortunate to get way with a victory.

Mike Rutter

The president knows we have to win this war. If some of his subordinates are trying to find ways to escape from it, he needs to assert control over them, overrule them or replace them. What the president needs to do now is tell the Pentagon to stop talking about (and planning for) withdrawal, and make sure they are planning for victory.

Bill Kristol

That was a big victory, having that provision stopped.

Jeff Hunt

Needless to say, a victory of the most left-leaning factions of the party would be a significant defeat for Lula.

Vitali Meschoulam

It's an awesome feeling to get a victory. Just like when I won last year, Mat had problems, so we didn't get to battle to the last lap. I didn't know he ran off the track, so I was sort of shocked when I saw my pit board and realized the lead I had.

Ben Spies

It will be a great victory for me.

Heather Crowe

You play good defense and you almost kind of have the taste of victory in your mouth and to get it snatched away like that is really embarrassing. That's not the way that I play football. That's not the way the defense plays football, and as a team that's not the way we should be playing football.

Adewale Ogunleye

The president has little budgetary room -- and even less political capital -- for any grand projects. If he can extend his tax cuts, it would be a big victory.

Barry Ritholtz

Strength is Happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness. When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to struggle is proof of your victory as a human being.

Daisaku Ikeda

We're trying to do everything better. We make sure our guys are excited and having fun and enthusiastic and playing smart. With that usually comes victory.

Steve Brown

We felt we had to play a hard 40 minutes of perfect basketball to beat the United States. But in the end, we had to play 45 minutes to earn this tremendous victory.

Dave Crook

Any victory is good for Italian curling. We are probably not the favorites for the medal. Our goal is to show people curling. If we win some, that is OK.

Joel Retornaz

I consider this as a victory for all, as a victory for the democratic transformation and the new system.

Yasir Arman

I told them that the only road to contract victory for the membership was not by strike but in continued negotiation. I stand ready to assist the local leadership in returning to the bargaining table.

Mike O'brien

He just told me (before leaving), 'Just run the team, make stuff easy, and let's get this victory.

Marcus Banks

Last year we tied for fourth place with Saint Mary's. This year we are hoping our depth can propel us ahead of the Gaels in the overall standings. It would be a huge team accomplishment and big victory for the program.

Carlo Facchino

You never take anything for granted, and you run very hard. We expect to have the support of Democrats. The roadmap to victory is to get your base behind you solidly.

Michael Meehan

This was a clear victory for the union.

Hannes Hesse

Our goal is always to be competitive and have a shot at a league championship, so I'm not going to take it as a moral victory. But the effort of our guys was great. There was no fear.

Andy Grimm

I am in a very good mood. The result of the election is a big personal victory for me. I proved that I am not only a grey cardinal but a public politician.

Volodymyr Lytvyn

Never celebrate too early. We got a big win over the top team in the state and we thought it was over. We came out lackadaisically and we didn't get the victory.

Mario Little

People might say we didn't need this victory. I think we very much needed it. The Russian soccer needed it. Look at how many rookies we had.

Georgy Yartsev

Money does motivate but only for a short time and only as long as it serves as a measure of worth or of power or of victory.

James L. Hayes

Anderson was such an outstanding opponent. A victory over a quality opponent like that speaks volumes about my vote-getting ability. Gavin Anderson is not chopped liver. I'm pleased with the win.

John Izzo

We're very happy to win our opener and get our first conference victory. Our defense was solid and our pitching was excellent.

Mark Demboski

The will to conquer is the first condition of victory.

Marshal Ferdinand Foch

Farmers probably couldn't have asked for a more media-savvy and media-friendly group of people than these guys. They're all very high-profile and have been able to draw a lot of attention to the cause — which is something farmers never had before Farm Aid came along, so just getting people to think about it has been a victory.

Michael Solomon

No matter how hard the loss, defeat might serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.

Al Gore

The Daytona Prototypes keep showing improvement every race. We have led the most laps all season and are a threat to win each race. We have one victory, but the team is hungry for more. Mid-Ohio is a driver's track and we have four good ones, so we are looking for good things next week.

Kevin Buckler

It's not my victory, it's a team victory. We had a game plan. Hard work made the difference.

Jason Briscoe

It wasn't easy. It was a courageous effort by both teams and we feel absolutely blessed to come out of here with a victory tonight.

Scott Carlson

I think only about victory.

Bertrand Delanoe

I take this game personally. I was on the sidelines last year (in Texas' 38-37 Rose Bowl victory against Michigan). I had tears in my eyes. I wanted to be a part of it so bad.

Selvin Young

Statistics are the triumph of the quantitative method, and the quantitative method is the victory of sterility and death.

Hilaire Belloc

We need as much momentum and emotion as we can get going into that (SEC) game. There's no better way to get it than a victory in this game.

Danny Ware

It's a great accomplishment, but I play for the wins, I don't play for the record. I just play hard and try to come out and get a victory. That's what any player should be playing for.

Lawrence Samuels

This was a very important victory because we were without our coach, and it's very emotional. Guys came out and executed and played well. We had some mistakes we need to correct, but hopefully, we can keep going on and keep getting better.

Lawrence Samuels

This decision is a victory for free speech on the Internet. The Internet provides unique opportunities for ordinary citizens to speak to a world-wide audience on matters of public concern. Trademark law must not be used to inhibit the freedom of speech in this powerful and important medium.

Kent Willis

We struggled with our shooting. We have to play better to beat a powerhouse team like Thatcher. This team is capable of doing just that. We have to play better as a team. Again, this was an important conference victory.

Coach Kimberly East

We're not mourning a loss. We're celebrating a victory: his victory in life over forces that would hurt his people, his victory in terms of letting us know that love is more powerful than hate.

Dr. Michael Harris

We were trying to build on our momentum from (the CB West victory). We ran into a really good football team. The kids knew. We weren't trying to paint any pictures. We didn't make plays.

Bart Szarko

We definitely needed this victory.

Jerry Fitzgerald

I am happy to be on the front row. That's what I was looking for at the start of the day. A victory is a definite possibility.

Loris Capirossi

We gave ourselves some good scoring opportunities. We were able to set ourselves up and came away with some goals to earn the victory.

Tim Burns

This is the greatest victory in the history of Cuban baseball because our opponents were major-league players.

Frederich Cepeda

Now we only have to convert a realistic chance into victory.

Viktor Orban

History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them.

B. R. Ambedkar

Today, we have victory over Roger Bentley. He will go to prison, and he will never be able to harm another child ever again.

Teresa Gage

Her victory will be an important moment, but she won't have long to savor it.

Frank Umbach

We came down here to get a win and we're happy to leave with the victory.

Ray Fish

The first step on the way to victory is to recognize the enemy.

Corrie Ten Boom

We are 20 months down the line from the ANC's largest electoral victory ever. It's unlikely that things would have changed dramatically in that period. It was potentially a bit of wishful thinking on the part of some parties and analysts.

Jonathan Faull

We showed so much character this tournament, and it'll help even more later in the season. Rallying back Friday night (for a 49-48 victory over Booker T. Washington) and then coming back like this tonight will help us in the district.

Craig Brehon

We stuck to the game plan for four quarters. We did not deviate from it at all. Instead of a one-goal victory, we have a five-goal victory.

Richard Corso

It is far too early to declare victory. We have a lot of systems and a lot of countries to go through yet before we'll see what the actual impact has been of the transition.

John Koskinen

The decision to acquit on the conspiracy charge, a felony, is a huge victory, given the narrow parameters within which the four could present their defense, and given the restrictions on deliberations. This is a major setback in the government's efforts to criminalize dissent.

Bill Quigley

I consider that it was a pretty even game. I think it was quite even, almost neck to neck. Anybody could have come out with a victory.

Rodrigo Lopez

[The Republican victory last week probably did not alter the outlook much for either side.] The giants in the industry are matched up against the giants in the telecom community, ... It's a fair fight.

Adam Thierer

I am thrilled with today's victory. But this is a win for all New Yorkers. Today's decision means an additional billion dollars of insurance proceeds will be available.

Larry Silverstein

That victory against Australia has given us the confidence that we can beat any side in the world.

Habibul Bashar

There is little difference between the philosophies of the government and the opposition. If the market was weak on a DPJ victory, this may be seen as a buying opportunity.

Robert Mckillop

There was a strong gust of wind that suddenly blew into me and I lost my line. The snow was blowing so hard. It's disappointing, because apart from that, everything was going well. I was on my way to the victory.

Benjamin Raich

This is a victory for public health. It makes no sense to allow huge multi-million-dollar projects that drastically increase air pollution without installing up-to-date pollution controls or even notifying nearby residents.

Howard Fox

We've been knocking on the door for a long time. It felt really good to get over the hump and pull out the victory.

Sue Nyus

A great victory for all Canadians, but particularly Muslims in Canada, and a defeat for Islamic fundamentalists and those who are preaching it in Canada.

Tarek Fatah

Peace is not the product of a victory or a command. It has no finishing line, no final deadline, no fixed definition of achievement. Peace is a never-ending process, the work of many decisions.

Oscar Hammerstein Ii

This is a huge victory for the hundreds of children and families who were affected here. This is a completely ill-conceived and illegal effort by the governor and other officials to try and save a few dollars on the backs of abused and neglected children.

Ira Lustbader

[The Bruins improved to 3-0 overall with an impressive 25-22, 25-21, 25-19 victory over one of the better Humboldt-Del Norte League Big-5 volleyball teams ? Arcata.] We didn't play so well over the weekend at the South Umpqua Tournament, ... So, I feel good about the way they played tonight.

Lori Cooper

Although going into the event as a defending champion will be something new to me, naturally coming back to the place where I won my maiden Tour victory will remain close to my heart until the day I die.

Stephen Dodd

This is a great team effort right here, and I'm just thankful that we got a victory.

Jason Maas

I also know he cannot lead troops to victory in a war when he has made it perfectly clear that he does not support the cause.

Tommy Franks

The prime minister emphasized that it makes little sense to negotiate a victory that we've already won.

Melanie Gruer

We had a really good test there last month so I don't see any reason why Ricky wouldn't have a shot at the win. It's one of his favorite tracks and this whole team is determined to get a victory in these final five races.

John Quinn

Much-needed victory. We played as one.

Marcus Walton

It's a victory for J&J, ... I think it's a recognition that Guidant's franchise has at least sustained some near-term damage. Whether they can correct that and when they can correct that is going to be a question going forward.

John Putnam

The question is, what does victory mean? It certainly isn't the number of people we kill or detain.

Anthony H. Cordesman

Hopefully we've blown the cobwebs of travel and all the other things involved with coming off the Christmas break away. It wasn't the prettiest (victory), but I was real proud of our kids. I thought everybody got an opportunity to get in, thought everybody was able to contribute.

Nyla Milleson

I've been fortunate to win many times, in many series. But there is still that goose egg in the truck series. I plan on changing that come Oct. 22nd, when it's one and done for me. The No. 17 made it to Victory Lane, so I'd like to get (my No.) 12 there, too.

Darrell Waltrip

Everyone had a pretty good day. They played us pretty tough, but we fought hard and got the victory.

Rocky Jarvis

Both sides can claim victory. It looks like a reasonable compromise.

Richard Aboulafia

[When he heard that victory had been declared, he was more than happy.] I thought, 'Thank God they dropped the bomb. Maybe the SOBs will surrender and the war will be over and I can go back to school,' ... It was a great relief for millions of reasons.

Robert Arnold

After Tuesday night, we had a meeting. I told them that there's no excuse for our pitcher getting 15 strikeouts and us not being able to get six outs without giving up some runs. We had been practicing kind of sluggish, and that carries over. But we bounced back Thursday and started hitting the ball. It was a good mental victory.

Lori Alexander

We're going to take it upon ourselves to play hard and come back with a victory.

Skyler Green

You take over cities and the guerrilla force has ample opportunity to attack you here, there and everywhere. That doesn't bring you victory, it never does.

Pavel Felgenhauer

We are on the edge of victory, The determination of youth is at a high level.

Bruno Julliard

We play well in spurts, but we just can't get a victory. We ran some plays in the second game and it worked. But we have a hard time keeping it going. If you are going to play well in this conference, you have to run some attacking plays.

This is a sweet victory for the Catholic League, Christians in general, and people of all faiths.
