"There are some defeats more triumphant than victories." - Michel de Montaigne
|▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬|
The main definition of this quote is the person who is defeated eventually finds out why they lost. A loss can be far more valuable than a victory. For it is in failure where we learn most, not just winning. You know what to do and come back stronger than before, with more knowledge and a better understanding of something you can overcome anything. You realise why you lost in the first place, then avoid the way you originally lost.

This quote could also indicate towards wars and battles. But it would be more considered as a sacrificial quote when relating or subjecting to that matter.
