Tennis Wimbledon
What is the Wimbledon Tennis Championship motto?

Ive heard it before, I think its written to the surplus of the players access to the main Court, I think its goes something like "treat winning and losing as the same"?

I do not know if this is what you're talking about, But the poem is written on the entrance door to Wimbledon. "If" by Rudyard Kipling If you keep your head when all about you are losing their guilt and it to you, you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but at the same time contribute to their doubts, you can wait and not be tired by waiting or lied to do not to, in a lie, or, if they hated, do not want to hate, but not too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream – and that not make dreams your master, you can think – and not your thoughts goal, you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat the two impostors the same; you can bear the truth is you've spoken Twisted by rogue hear a case to make fools, or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and bent and build 'em up with worn tools: Can you make a bunch of all your winnings and risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss to lose, and and start again at your beginnings and never breath a word about your loss; If you serve your heart and nerve and tendon strength of your turn long after they are gone, And so Hold when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them: "Hold on!" When you talk with crowds and keep your virtue or walk with kings – Nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you when all men count with you, but not too much, If you unforgiving can fill minute run 60 seconds worth of distance, your earth and all that is therein, and – this is more – you're a man, my son!
