There’s a poster of Churchill
Pointing like Uncle Sam
With the caption DESERVE VICTORY.
I gave one to Mike Lavoie.
The slogan is agnostic
As to whether you win or not.
In war, as in the ordinary,
Nothing is ever certain.
What you can always do,
Always try to do,
Is deserve.
When you fail, fail gloriously.
When you triumph, do it with grace.
Nothing is final
Except the final defeat,
After which they may say of you
“He deserved better.”
Make it true.
