For Those Who Fail by Joaquin Miller
b'For Those Who Fail\\nby Joaquin Miller (1841? \\u2013 1913)\\n\\n"All honor to him who shall win the prize," \\nThe world has cried for a thousand years; \\nBut to him who tries and who fails and dies, \\nI give great honor and glory and tears. \\n\\nO great is the hero who wins a name, \\nBut greater many and many a time, \\nSome pale-faced fellow who dies in shame, \\nAnd lets God finish the thought sublime. \\n\\nAnd great is the man with a sword undrawn, \\nAnd good is the man who refrains from wine; \\nBut the man who fails and yet fights on, \\nLo! he is the twin-born brother of mine!'
