“To be defeated and not submit, is victory; to be victorious and rest on one's laurels, is defeat.”
                                        
                                        (Late 1920s or the 1930s) Zbigniew Brzezinski in his introduction to Wacław Jędrzejewicz’s Piłsudski: A Life For Poland. Quoted from  this website http://members.lycos.co.uk/jozefpilsudski/index2.html
