There have been victories all over the world, but wherever we look for the victor we expect to find him with his heel upon the neck of the vanquished.

We have to look deeper into the very heart and essence of things before we can see how real the victory is that thus hides itself under the guise of defeat.” ~ Phillips Brooks
