Bashar al-Assad
When we analyze this war in a materialistic way and ask when is it going to end and who will be the winner and the loser, it means that we do not see the endgame.

3
Benedict Cumberbatch
Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame.
4

8
Ronda Rousey
For me, MMA is like speed chess. It's like I'm herding a person into a certain position. Say my endgame is an arm bar. I'm not gonna actually take you and put you there. What I'm going to do is convince you that it's a good idea to move in the direction I want you to go.
9
Richard Shelby
If there's not any endgame, we're in quicksand. We take one more step, and we're still there, and there's no way out.
