If you'd read that one first, it would be just as meaningful. Which is to say, not at all.
Your version isn't as meaningful.
Later, I made a very similar deal for about 30% more money, that wouldn't have happened without losing the first one.
I reckon, better to lose by boldness than lose by tameness. Either one can bite you, but at least you get some satisfaction out of losing for being too bold.
The only thing I would add is that instead of "the magnificent" it probably should read "the magnificent and the fool", since the fool also regrets nothing.
Not that it makes the quote any less cool, just rounds it out a little better for reuse.
