A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.
Life doesn't require that we be the best, only that we try our best.
Trying is a part of failing. If you are afraid to fail then you're afraid to try.
There ain't no rules around here, we're trying to accomplish something.
Somehow the people who do as they please seem to get along just about as well as those who are always trying to please others.
Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.
Set your target and keep trying until you reach it.
Nothing is to small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
People are always neglecting something they can do in trying to do something they can't do.
A winner never stops trying.
When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat.
Trying is the internalization of the failure of omnipotence.
Try, try, try, and keep on trying is the rule that must be followed to become an expert in anything.
There is merit in the attempt, and a whole lot accomplished along the way.
The best angle from which to approach a problem is the Try-angle.
As a result of trying to solve the big problems we face in life, many of us end up sacrificing individual relationships by doing things that we may consider as being small or insignificant at the time. This reminds us of the George and Gracie routine where George asks Gracie, How do you cook a pot roast? She replied, I put both a big pot roast and a small pot roast in the oven. When the small one is burnt, the big one is done just right!
Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
