Look around and see great men.

Some have risen from the poor.

Some are bankers, and other statesmen,

Some rises have been premature.

Don’t give in because you’re weary.

Don’t think your attempts are in vain,

If you fail, still be cheery,

Up and at it!  Try Again.

Try and fail but don’t fail to try.
