"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."

This quote means to me that it doesnt matter weather you win or lose. The the most important thing to do is to always be fair in life, always be honorable and do whats right. Doing these 3 things will make you feel good because even if you didnt win anything, you know you did the right thing. For example, if you cheat and you win you will feel guilty, but if you do right and be honest , and if you win or lose you'll feel great.
