Wisdom and goodness are twin-born. One heart must hold both sisters, never seen apart.

Despair the twin-born of devotion.
algernon charles swinburneOh, great is the hero who wins a name, But greater many and many a time Some pale-faced fellow who dies in shame, And lets God finish the thought sublime. And great is the man with a sword undrawn, And good is the man who refrains from wine; But the man who fails and yet still fights on, Lo, he is the twin-born brother of mine.
