Today's quote on chessgames.com:
| Lose with grace and resign in a timely manner. If you are a lot of material down and don't have sufficient compensation, it is time to lay down your arms. This way you show your respect for both chess and your opponent. |
-- Svetlana Matveeva.

Here's a better quote "You don't win chess games by resigning." You show respect for everybody by not telling them to resign all the time.

|
You don't win on time if you resign either

Like the ancient Chinese curse ("May you live in interesting times") I propose an ancient Chess blessing. "May you often be forced to prove that your position is winning." Such problems I should have more often.

Yeah, I just had a one sided game and finally forced a mate in two, but thought it was a mate in one... oops Every move can be fatal.
