Than not to live at all

It is better to live in an imperfect world,
than never to live at all.
It is better to have loved and lost,
than never to have loved at all.
It is better to work as best as one can,
than never to have labour’d at all.
It is better to make something with flaws,
than never to have created at all.
It is better to aim for great and achieve good,
than never to have aimed at all.
It is better to have tried, and failed,
than never to have attempted at all.
It is better to live life to the full,
than to not have lived at all.
