The magical use of words...

I was trying to use a maxim on victory and defeat, and just couldn't find one that encapsulated what I wanted to express. So, went to Google, and got these....

Be gracious in defeat and magnanimous in victory

Be gracious in defeat and generous in victory

Strive to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat ~ Boots Williams

In war, resolution; in defeat, defiance; in victory, magnanimity ~ Winston Churchill

.....to be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory ~ Douglas MacArthur

Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory ~ Arthur Ashe
