Quotes about trying

  • A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. (Adams Douglas)
  • There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying. (Adams Douglas)
  • 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. (Adams Douglas)
  • 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. (Adams Douglas)
  • Set your target and keep trying until you reach it. (Adams Douglas)
  • A winner never stops trying. (Adams Douglas)
  • 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. (Adams Douglas)
  • Try, try, try, and keep on trying is the rule that must be followed to become an expert in anything. (Adams Douglas)

  • 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! (Adams Douglas)
  • Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try. (Adams Douglas)
