"TEACH ME TO OBSERVE THE RULES OF THE GAME"
Copy of a prayer which hung in a private room of his late Majesty King George V., at Sandringham. "Teach me to observe the rules of the game; teach me neither to cry for the moon nor for spilt milk ; help me to distinguish between sentiment and sentimentality, cleaving to the one end and despising the other. "Help me neither to proffer nor to receive cheap praise. "If I am called upon to suffer, let me be like the well-bred beast who goes away and suffers in silenee. "Teach me to win when I.may, and, if I may not win, then, above all, I pray, make me a good loser.*'
