Donn Moxley's Words to Play By

Play the game,

play it fairly,

fight to win,

meet men squarely,

tackle hard, hit the line,

do your best, but don’t you whine,

Play to win but every inning,

keep in mind there’s more than winning,

victory’s sweet through good or ill

an honest name is sweeter still,

reach your goals by hard endeavour

but by trick and cunning never

win or lose through bruise or lame,

let night find you unashamed.
