“The many fail: the one succeeds.”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson The Day-Dream
The Arrival, st. 2
The Day-Dream (1842)
Context: The bodies and the bones of those
That strove in other days to pass,
Are wither'd in the thorny close,
Or scatter'd blanching on the grass.
He gazes on the silent dead:
"They perish'd in their daring deeds."
This proverb flashes thro' his head,
"The many fail: the one succeeds."
Dick Morris (1947) American political commentator and consultant
