📔You can't win them all.
📋Meaning
Something you can say after you, or someone else, loses a contest or fails to achieve something (said to make losing seem not so bad).
🤔For example ⬇️
🗣After Terry had lost the match, his wife said, "Never mind, dear. You can't win them all."
🗣When it was clear that we hadn't won the contract, I tried to hide my disappointment by saying, "Oh well. You can't win 'em all."
✏️Note
This informal idiom is often pronounced as "You can't win 'em all", with the "th" in "them" not voiced.
