Victory


           It is victory when a country is delivered from despotism. In a contest fair play is all in all. Victory is beside the point.

            Unscrupulous acquisition of a thing is not victory. It is fraudulence. Defeating the weak and the ignorant is not victory. It is plunder. Fair acquisition by fair play is victory. Gaining victory over a strong opponent is manliness.

        The wise consider the vanquishment of the wicked as victory. They consider the putting down of the base propensities as victory.

                                 – Mahabharata
