Winning isn’t everything, it’s the taking part that counts

"The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle, the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well"

имхо
Чисто совковый лозунг.... Прямой перевод слов не будет адекватен, скорее всего.... ИМПЕРИЯЛИСТЫ не поймут.....

[luizella]

Согласна. И этот совковый лозунг надо перевести. И перевод, скорее всего, должен быть лаконичный

Ну-ну.

"Winning isn't everything" - самая лаконичная и популярная версия этого выражения на английском. Те же, кого пока не забанили на гугле, могут найти следующее:

"Winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing" is a well-known quotation in sports. Its assertion about the importance of winning has been touted as a basic tenet of the American sports creed and, at the same time, identified as encapsulating what is purportedly wrong with competitive sports.
...
This credo has served as counterpoint to the well known sentiment by sports journalist Grantland Rice that, "it's not that you won or lost but how you played the game," and to the modern Olympic creed expressed by its founder Pierre de Coubertin: "The most important thing. . . is not winning but taking part”.
