To me, that quote means that if you try your hardest at something, and do it without help from outsiders, but fail at the attempt anyway, then you did it honorably. But, if you use the work of someone else--who did all the research, wrote it all down, etc--and not give them credit for the work they did, then you are committing fraud. Coming up with your own unique thoughts is not easy by any means, but there IS someone out there who came up with the same theory first, and they deserve to be given credit for it.

Its a better life lesson to fail at something you did honestly than to cheat yourself and "succeed".
When you succeed by fraud, you will carry the weight of guilt.
Take a look at Marion Jones recent confession to using steroids to win the olympics.

this means that if you do clean job it's better to fail because it ain't gonna cause you a lot to the government. Then, if you do fraud then that would be a bad thing.... So yeah.....

its much more better to fail being honest than to bear the fact that you might of gotten an A through cheating off another persons paper.

the quote means:
it is better to lose a game by being honest rather than cheating and lying in order to win.
(hint: Marion Jones episode....)
