The full motto was;
When the one Great Scorer comes to mark against your name,he writes not if you won or lost,but how you played the game.
This was an American 20th century sports writer named
Grantland Rice born 1880 died 1954.

This is not a motto, it's an awfully british attitude:
"Play up, play up and play the game"
(don't flame me, I'm british)
Think of it from this point of view:
If you play, and lose, but gave it your best shot, then you've still won.

It was from a poem that ended:
"And when the One Great Scorer comes
To mark against your name,
He'll write not that you won or lost,
But how you played the game."

Sounds like Bill Shankly.
My favourite quote from the shankster is.
I don't play short ball
I don't play the long ball
I play the right ball.
