Loss

"LOSS, n. Privation of that which we had, or had not. Thus, in the latter sense, it is said of a defeated candidate that he "lost his election"; and of that eminent man, the poet Gilder, that he has "lost his mind." It is in the former and more legitimate sense, that the word is used in the famous epitaph:"

"Losers must have leave to speak."

"Our wasted oil unprofitably burns, Like hidden lamps in old sepulchral urns."

"Beaten paths are for beaten men."

"The joy of losing consists in this: Where there are no expectations, there is no disappointment."

"it was just as important to me to recognize loss and turmoil just as I chose to share joy...I believe it is just as important to highlight and memorialize all aspects of our world and cultures. To me, it is important not to bury the shame and trauma caused by the issues you ask about."

"The Tigers put up a fine fight and, darn it, I did feel sorry for 'em in their dressing room, nobody slappin' 'em on the back; in fact, nobody in there but them. Game Mickey Cochrane sitting there, just removing bandage after bandage from almost all over himself. Real he-men; in a real he-man's game, with almost tears in their eyes; but not squawking—they just said "Old 'Diz' had everything." I can applaud a winner as loud as anyone, but somehow a loser appeals to me."

"Like the dew on the mountain, Like the foam on the river, Like the bubble on the fountain, Thou art gone, and forever!"

"Wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss, But cheerly seek how to redress their harms."

"It is inconceivable that something is lost forever."

"That loss is common would not make My own less bitter, rather more: Too common! Never morning wore To evening, but some heart did break."

"But over all things brooding slept The quiet sense of something lost."

"No man can lose what he never had."

"For 'tis a truth well known to most, That whatsoever thing is lost, We seek it, ere it comes to light, In every cranny but the right."

"Gli huomini dimenticano più teste la morte del padre, che la perdita del patrimonie."

"Things that are not at all, are never lost."

"What's saved affords No indication of what's lost."

"A wise man loses nothing, if he but save himself."

"When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; When health is lost, something is lost; When character is lost, all is lost!"

"That puts it not unto the touch To win or lose it all."

"Si quis mutuum quid dederit, sit pro proprio perditum; Cum repetas, inimicum amicum beneficio invenis tuo. Si mage exigere cupias, duarum rerum exoritur optio; Vel illud, quod credideris perdas, vel illum amicum, amiseris."

"With each loss, new buds of victory unfold in our hearts."

"The absence of lost things is felt most painfully when the things you possess stop providing satisfaction."

"Periere mores, jus, decus, pietas, fides, Et qui redire nescit, cum perit, pudor."
