Mais on ne se bat pas dans l'espoir d'un succès.
Non ! Non, c'est bien plus beau lorsque c'est inutile.

Poco nos importa el éxito, ya que se trata de ser grande y no de parecerlo.

A vaincre sans péril, on triomphe sans gloire.

Continuer la lutte lorsqu'on est victorieux, c'est aussi bien diminuer ses propres forces qu'affaiblir le gage exigé du vaincu. (notes de L. Nachin (1948) sur l'article II)

Don't waste effort on a thing that ends in a petty triumph unless you are happy with a life of petty success

Remember that the most beautiful things in life are often the most useless; peacocks and lilies for instance.

It’s better to fail while striving for something wonderful, challenging, adventurous, and uncertain than to say, ‘I don’t want to try because I may not succeed completely.

As W. C. Fields once said, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again . . . then give up. There’s no use being a damn fool about it.

Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless.

For with slight efforts how should we obtain great results? It is foolish even to desire it.

Do not contemplate what lies beyond failure while you are still trying to succeed.

"It's no use saying, "We are doing our best." You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary."

I would rather try to succeed and fail than try to do nothing and succeed.

A vaincre sans peril, on triomphe sans gloire-

To win without risk is a triumph without glory
