"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating." Sophocles

In other words, what this quote is trying to say is that when you do anything in life don't find the easy way and feel guilty afterward or resentment. You should feel and be able to carry your self very proudly and know that you did, you finally accomplish your goal. Not neccessarily all by your self but, through your critical thinking skills, collaboration, and diligence.  For instance, you are working on writing a beautiful story, and you have no idea what the big plot twist will be, and you've been working on this story for a year now. The last thing you need to finish your masterpiece to share with the world full of readers is the plot twist. You go on a quest to find your plot twist and what do you do you cheat and you still your fellow writer's plot twist as your own and you finish, you're now no more masterpiece. The editors love it and they publish it, and all your thinking and feeling right now is guilt and how you should do what is right, but it's your career on the line. Cheating your way into the big books, you show and have displayed no honor and no integrity. To conclude, the example, shown and explained above is what you shouldn't do and do things with honor.
