The only thing wealth does for some people is to make them worry about losing it.
Antoine Rivarol, French Journalist
I love making people laugh. It's an addiction and it's probably dysfunctional, but I am addicted to it and there's no greater pleasure for me than sitting in a theater and feeling a lot of people losing control of themselves.
Jay Roach, American Director
I'm sure Alex will be having to get the masseurs in to work on those legs. You feel tired when you're losing but when you are winning it gives you that bit of an edge.

Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead.
Jackie Robinson, American Athlete (1919-1972)
It kills me to lose. If I'm a troublemaker, and I don't think that my temper makes me one, then it's because I can't stand losing. That's the way I am about winning, all I ever wanted to do was finish first.
Jackie Robinson, American Athlete (1919-1972)

Hilary Rosen, American Businessman (1958-  )
We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.
Joseph Roux, French Clergyman
I was brought up by two people who just said, Whatever it is you're interested in, go do it. There is no winning or losing. You find out when you do it what the experience is.
Kurt Russell, American Actor (1951-  )
When for so long you can't get a job for reasons that seem specious, you you finally do have it, you are constantly afraid of losing it.
Jessica Savitch, American Journalist (1947-1983)
Losing feels worse than winning feels good.
Vin Scully, American Celebrity (1927-  )
A good balance of winning and losing is important. If you just win all the time, you won't get anything out of it; having some tough losses can be really important.
Andrew Shue, American Actor (1967-  )
There are a lot of things I can take, and a few that I can't. What I can't take is when my older brother, who's everything that I want to be, starts losing faith in things. I saw that look in your eyes last night. I don't ever want to see that look in your eyes again.
M. Night Shyamalan, American Director (1970-  )
You got to choose between tightening your belt or losing your pants.
Navjot Singh Sidhu, Indian Entertainer (1963-  )

If you are losing your leisure, look out; you may be losing your soul.
Logan P. Smith, American Writer
My biggest loss was the Olympics. I just can't forget losing. I never will.
Mark Spitz, American Athlete (1950-  )
