Then if we are defeated, don't explain, don't excuse it, but bear it like men, grimly and silently, and go into the struggle next time with more unflagging perseverance and a deeper determination. Yet victory is better than the most honorable defeat. Do not adopt the theory that it really doesn't matter whether we win or lose, for it does matter and it rests with...
