It is enough to love the trying itself - in order always to be on the winning side... Let's try it.

Context from : Anne of the Green GablesCHAPTER XXXVThe Winter at Queen's"That may make me feel badly tomorrow, Josie," laughed Anne, "but just now I honestly feel that as long as I know the violets are coming out all purple down in the hollow below Green Gables and that little ferns are poking their heads up in Lovers' Lane, it's not a great deal of difference whether I win the Avery or not. I've done my best and I begin to understand what is meant by the `joy of the strife.' Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing. Girls, don't talk about exams! Look at that arch of pale green sky over those houses and picture to yourself what it must look like over the purply-dark beech-woods back of Avonlea."

Next to trying is doing, next to winning is enjoying your doing, there is no second best.
