“There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.”

“You’ve got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing.”

“The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win, but to take part; the important thing in Life is not triumph, but the struggle; the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”

“Life is like a game. And like any other game, it's important to have rules and a goal. The point is to enjoy the game, not to win.”

“Life is a game of chess and you never really know when you are winning or losing.”

“Life has but one true charm: the charm of the game. But what if we’re indifferent to whether we win or lose?”

“Sometimes you have to lose a piece to win a game.”

“The world is a game of chess; the loser loses and the winner wins.”

“Life is a game with many rules but no referee. One learns how to play it more by watching it than by consulting any book, including the holy book. Small wonder, then, that so many play dirty, that so few win, that so many lose.”

“I hate to lose more than I like to win.”
