“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating”

Sophocles

What I think this quote means is that failing honorably is a better feeling than winning but by cheating. It feels better because when you cheat you know you are lying and cheating and you will probably feel guilty and that guilt will be with you until you die. But if you fail with honor it won’t matter because you did your best and you didn’t cheat. Lastly failing with honor shows other people that they are a trustworthy and respectful person.

For example if there is a test and you didn’t study just fail with honor and face the consequences rather than cheat on that test.
