It's Not The Winning. It's The Taking Part.
We all grew up with those phrases: Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. You're rubber and I'm glue, what you say bounces off me and sticks to you. And of course my personal favourite, it's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts.
