Question 1066: Whose side are you on?

So the situation here is that the guy in pic 1 is incorrectly credited with the origin of a phrase(let's call it X) which was in reality, stated by the guy in pic 2. However, it became well known as one of 1's quotations. The phrase in question, is a counterpoint to another phrase (say Y) stated by the visionary in pic 3 and also in similar vein by the guy in pic 4. The phrases X and Y are perfect opposites of each other, if you may say so, both popular in their own right.

Identify both the phrases X and Y (half points for each). No need to identify the 4 dudes.

Answer:
X: "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing"
Y: "The most important thing is not winning but taking part (in the Games)" OR "not that you won or lost but how you played the game"
1 - Vince Lombardi
2 - Henry Russell Sanders
3 - Pierre de Coubertin
4 - Grantland Rice

    Vince Lombardi's X:
    t's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.

    & Courbertin's Y:
    The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part
