quotations about winning
Sportsmanship isn't just about being nice or playing fair. It's is a state of graciousness in both being a winner and a loser. What this means is that you win with humility and you lose with dignity. Winning with humility allows you to take the focus off of just you and recognize others who contribute to the win. That is your coaches and teammates. Yes, it's a great feeling to win. Winning with humility allows you to recognize and value your opponents' skills and talents. Something that isn't commonly done.

It must not be assumed that winning is necessarily constructive or moral, nor is it, in and of itself, a political philosophy to be blindly followed. By itself, the act of winning says nothing about the underlying methods used or the attributes, principles, or ethics of the actors involved regarding any particular issue. A CEO may be dedicated to winning for his company (winning in this case defined, say, as simply making more money), but the means of winning could fall anywhere on the spectrum from honesty to deceit and corruption.
