Fail with honor.

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

-Sophocles

Reflection: I think this quote means that it's better to lose it then win it by cheating. That was extremely obvious so let me explain my reasoning, it says “...prefer to fail with honor…” i'm sure you know where this is going, it means that since you're going to lose, you should lose not cheating then just lose or win cheating. “...then win by cheating…” this means that if you're going to cheat somewhere somehow, then think three times of what you are doing, for example. You're going to school you use a piece of tape and write the answers with a light pencil(classic), nobody sees you with it but you cheat anyway and you actually pass with a A. But this was an illusion, you think three times and you don't cheat but do the best you can, maybe fail with honor. But since almost everyone cheats in this world i doubt people will think three times, but since you are reading the quote i recommend you follow where i'm going with this.
