A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.
Photo: Jackson Simmer. Meaning 📚 🧠 : The statement means that a defeat in itself is not the end. Someone is only truly “finished” or definitively defeated when he ‘gives up’. The core is therefore ‘perseverance, resilience, and pushing through despite adversity’. 🕰️ Origin: The quote is of ‘modern origin’, not from classical antiquity. It stems from a ‘personal note by Richard Nixon to himself from 1969’ and was later quoted in Stephen E. Ambrose, “Nixon” (1987), p. 284.👤 Author: The author is therefore Richard Nixon, ‘not Epictetus’ as is sometimes suggested. The confusion with ‘Epictetus’ is understandable, as the thought is reminiscent of ‘Stoic philosophy’ in terms of content, but the phrasing and origin are clearly modern.
