Loser Quotes - Page 8

• The Olympics is my favourite sporting event. Although I have a problem with that silver medal. When you think about it, you win the gold - you feel good, you win the bronze - you think, 'Well at least I got something'. But when you win silver, it's like, 'Congratulations, you 'almost' won. Of all the losers, you came in first of that group. You're the number one 'loser.' No one lost ahead of you.

  Jerry Seinfeld

  Congratulations, Winning, Thinking

• I was a completely normal kid, the school nerd. In Year 8 and 9 I got picked on. I was a freak- no one understood me. I was the kid who wanted to be abducted by ET. Then all the losers left in Year 10. But I was quite good at school, and very artistic. In Year 11 it turned around. I became one of the coolest kids in school. I was in school musicals- the kid who could sing. It was bizzare. I loved school. It's an amazing little world. The rules inside the school are different from the outside world.

• It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the Internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person turn to the Internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met just to make themselves superior. Isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation.

• Remember this: with mind you will always be a loser. Even if you are victorious, your victories will be just defeats. With mind there is no victory, with no-mind there is no defeat. You have to shift your whole consciousness from mind to no-mind. Once no-mind is there, everything is victorious. Once the no-mind is there, nothing goes wrong, nothing can go wrong.

  Rajneesh

• La ética jurídica es un término erróneo... los abogados que se conducen legalmente no necesariamente se conducen moralmente..."...y ... "La naturaleza de suma cero del sistema jurídico, combinada con la adopción universal del fanatismo como las órdenes de marcha de los profesionales y los fiscales, transforma la misión moral del sistema jurídico de una de búsqueda de la verdad, narración de historias y justicia, a una de fabricación, distorsión y manipulación en busca de la victoria. Estas victorias, sin embargo, nos convierten a todos en perdedores.
