Sophocles



“I would prefer to fail with honor than win by cheating.”
-Sophocles



He’s saying that he would rather lose knowing he tried or did his best than to win knowing he cheated and did the wrong thing. It shows how mature you are when you lose and you’re still a good sport about it. If people know you tried your best then you’re a winner in their eyes and yours. If you won by taking the easy way out and cheated then that doesn’t do you any good. Sure you get called a winner but that doesn’t really make you a winner. You just have the title winner. You know deep down you don’t deserve that title and the guilt is worse than you losing.
