It’s perhaps unsurprising that many though not all people would decide that faced with an opponent whose entire position is the total denial of your humanity as the kind of human being that you are, the only winning move in such a game would be not to play.

You will NEVER win unless you try.

Don’t try, don’t try, Don’t try you’ll never win, And you can never be him. ~ "Sleep Better"

You'll never know how close you are to victory if you give up.

There's an old saying that applies to me: you can't lose a game if you don't play the game. (Act 1, scene 4)

In certain video games, it is impossible to win. All you can do is survive as long as you can, piling up points, until you are eventually dragged down and killed.
Much like life itself?

You can't win by being more average than average.

Never venture, never win!

“If you can’t win, change the game.”
Ivan twitched a brow upward. “If there’s no game, isn’t winning a pretty meaningless concept?”

When there is no game, don't play,...

You can’t win in the game of life if you are not on the playing field!

Truth is that you cannot make a comeback if you are never lost.

[H]e who fears to lose will never win.

You don’t win by getting through all your life not having done anything.
