As always, victory will have a hundred fathers, but defeat will never be acknowledged by anyone at all.

La vittoria trova cento padri, e nessuno vuole riconoscere l'insuccesso.

Another quote of the following type Metaphor, analogy and simile

The ego's relation to the id might be compared with that of a rider to his horse. The horse supplies the locomotive energy, while the rider has the privilege of deciding on the goal and of guiding and powerful animal's movement. But only too often there arises between the ego and the id the not precisely ideal situation of the rider being obliged to guide the horse along the path by which it itself wants to go.
