Latin: Ad astra per aspera; ad augusta per angusta
English: To the stars through difficult trials; to high places through narrow roads
Purport: Victory in a hard won battle is sweet victory indeed. Nothing brings the greatest satisfaction than knowing that you rightfully deserve the reward that you have worked earnestly for, topped with a clean conscience like a cherry on vanilla sundae. On the other hand, to win by cheating brings neither satisfaction, nor a sense of victory. It only brings you other people’s wrath and disgust, which your treachery rightfully deserves.
Remember: It is always good to end a day with an honest, clean conscience. You sleep much sounder, and no disturbing dreams haunt you from your subconscious.
Lesson: If all things being equal in a game where you lose, then lose with dignity and pride. If you win by cheating, then you have imposed your own silence on the matter, and you are bound to legitimize your position through a series of mounting lies!
