English translation:Each victory is usually a line of defeats.
Explanation:
Така май е най-straightforward.
_____________________________

Понеже фразата не е еднозначна и не е ясно (поне за мен) дали това е заради съзнателно търсена амбивалентност или заради непрецизност на превода, ето и малко варианти:

Victory usualy arrives as а line of defeats.
Victory would usually arrive as a line of defeats.
(...) a series of defeats.
(...) chain of defeats.

Victory builds on defeats.

Victory is a line of someone's defeats.

или пък:

One's victory is a line of someone else's defeats. (?)
