There is an old motto that runs, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." This is nonsense. It ought to read, "If at first you don't succeed, quit, quit at once."

Stephen Leacock

If at first you don't succeed, try management. Indecision is the key to flexibility. If at first you don't succeed, take the tax loss.

Kirk Kirkpatrick

Continue to invest in your personal development. Expand your occupational horizons by constant study . . . look to your present job as a stepping-stone along your career path. Take time to think. The dimensions of most jobs are constrained only by the mind of the uncreative worker. I like what one business man counseled: If at first you do succeed, try something harder!!!

J. Richard Clarke

As kids we're not taught how to deal with success; we're taught how to deal with failure. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. If at first you succeed, then what?

Charlie Sheen

If at first you don't succeed, you get back up and you try ... and you try ... and you try it again ... except ice skating, I hate this crap, I quit!

Little Richard

That's why I love spiders. 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.

Diana Wynne Jones

If at first you don't succeed, sure, try again... but if you keep not succeeding, you should probably concentrate on something (or someone) else worthwhile & quit wasting your time.

Ingrid Weir

Now we cannot...discover our failure to keep God's law except by trying our very hardest (and then failing). Unless we really try, whatever we say there will always be at the back of our minds the idea that if we try harder next time we shall succeed in being completely good. Thus, in one sense, the road back to God is a road of moral effort, of trying harder and harder. But in another sense it is not trying that is ever going tobring us home. All this trying leads up to the vital moment at which you turn to God and say, "You must do this. I can't.

C. S. Lewis

If you've never quit anything, you really ought to try. And if at first you don't succeed, try again.

Steve Rushin

If you don't succeed at first, there's no need for the F word (Failure). Pick yourself up and try, try again.

Richard Branson

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.

W. C. Fields

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try again.

Michael Chang

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.

William Edward Hickson

Being able to inspire my kid with what I'm doing now, it's going to help him succeed in the future, and that's one of my main goals here - is to try and succeed on the field, and succeed as a mother.

Jessica McDonald

Men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.

Lloyd Jones

If you put out 20 films, you hope that a number are successful. It's like human reproduction versus frog reproduction. Frogs produce thousands and hope a few succeed. Humans don't produce many babies but put a lot of energy into them, which is kind of where we are. They still don't always succeed, but you try a lot harder.
