A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means.

But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?

There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.

Thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil.
