"Winning is everything, ask those poor souls buried beneath the battlefield " a Navy Seals saying
Both Henry 'Red' Sanders and Vince Lombardi said "Winning Isn't Everything. It's the Only Thing"
Joseph the second.
He actually said: "If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing."
Many scientists believe that everything is made of atoms.
