Faithfulness imparts God's reason for all circumstances. No matter what the world says, losing is no longer an option.

On athleticism, God knows no favor. It seems rather he is in the business of teaching winners how to lose and losers how to win.

Of course we'll win. And even if we were to lose, we'd win at losing.

Nothing frustrates people more than a cocky guy who's still winning.

An insincere critic of a sincere person never wins.

As cliché as it might sound, I'd rather lose than win by cheating. The latter is a much deeper, more personal loss in that one is admittedly whispering to himself his lack of competence. His cheating then begets more cheating, as he is ever-privately, ever-subconsciously insulting himself; thus, gradually deteriorating any remaining confidence.

Nothing amuses people more than a cocky guy who starts losing.
