Browse Quotations about Trying

A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
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!
Life doesn't require that we be the best, only that we try our best.

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.
The best angle from which to approach a problem is the Try-angle.
There ain't no rules around here, we're trying to accomplish something.
There is merit in the attempt, and a whole lot accomplished along the way.
There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.
Try, try, try, and keep on trying is the rule that must be followed to become an expert in anything.
