"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating. " - Sophocles

Sophocles

It takes a much larger character and individual with dignity to win by fair and only by fair game. Cheating determines the kind of individual you are that only comes by greed, unfairness and loyalty acts. To lose knowing you've tried and have attempted your very best is far more better than winning knowing you didn't give it your all and you've only cheated yourself and everyone else. With every cheater comes a liar and a manipulator. To win with honor is also a far more better reward knowing you've worked for it. Literally anybody can win by cheating. It's a far more greater challenge being able to do so (winning) if it's only yourself to count without any loopholes .
