WINSTON CHURCHILL
his first speech as Prime Minister to the House of Commons, May 13, 1940

I firmly believe that any man's finest hours--his greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear--is the moment when he has worked his heart out in good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle--victorious.

attributed, "Greatest Vince Lombardi Quotes", NFL.com
You can have success on the outside, but if you're bitter on the inside, it's going to spoil and taint every victory. You must deal with the inside first. You must get to the root of the problem; then you can really be happy. Then you can experience true, untainted, unalloyed victory in your life.

WILLIAM JAMES
"Is Life Worth Living?", The Will to Believe and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy
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 much nor suffer much, because they live in that grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
speech at the Hamilton Club, Chicago, April 10, 1899

Men, whose life is but a sensitive or oblivious second--a fleeting stampede within mist--seek the absurd consolation of believing that their work will become immortal, and this phantom lie has induced many a soldier to writhe upon some trivial battlefield and many a minor poet to fight with threats of the gutter.

If you have a vision of victory for your life, you can rise to a new level. But as long as you have your head down, with your gaze on the ground instead of on your possibilities, you run the risk of moving in the wrong direction and missing out.
