You May Win the Battle but there is Another One

The fighting Irish of Notre Dame playing on their own home court had the audacity to whip the Bruins of UCLA. Digger Phelps, the coach of that Notre Dame team said, “The victory is sweet but unfortunately in a short period of time we will have to go to Pauley Pavilion and battle them on their own court.” And everybody in California shouted “Amen” when he made the statement. And sure enough, in a very short time, every sports fan in the area watched UCLA on their home court soundly defeat the Fighting Irish. You may win the battle, but there is always another one to fight another day.  (As told by Chuck Swindoll in his book of Illustrations and Quotes, p. 604).
