" I would perfer even to fail with honor than win by cheating' - sophocles

 what i think this means is that you dont want to cheat yourself in life. You want to do things that will help you out and not have to cheat in anything. Like cheat on a test just to pass the class. Or like cheat in a game to beat the other team but like if you're gonna lose, lose with honor. So that is why i would perfer even to fail with honor than win by cheating. So that is why this is a great statement.
