But off yonder where it's rocky, Where you get a better view, You will find the ranks are thinning And the travelers are few.Where the going's smooth and pleasant You will always find the throng, For the many, more's the pity, Seem to like to drift along. But the steeps that call for courage, And the task that's hard to do In the end result in glory For the never-wavering few. View quote
