No one knows what he can do until he tries.

Publilius Syrus

No man knows what he can do until he tries.

Carter G. Woodson

Nobody knows what's in him until he tries to pull it out. If there's nothing, or very little, the shock can kill a man.

Ernest Hemingway

Friedrich Nietzsche

No one knows what he can do till he tries.

Publilius Syrus

Men are four; He who knows and knows not that he knows. He is asleep; wake him. He who knows not and knows not that he knows not. He is a fool; shun him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not. He is a child; teach him. He who knows and knows that he knows. He is a king; follow him. The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

His whole body shakes with the strain as he tries to lift something he knows he can't lift, something everybody knows he can't lift. But, for just a second, when we hear the cement grind at our feet, we think, by golly, he might do it.

Ken Kesey

There are four types of men in this world: 1. The man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. The man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. The man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. Finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

Solomon Ibn Gabirol

Anyone who tries to make you believe that he knows all about wines is obviously a fake.

Leon Adams

No one knows what is in him till he tries, and many would never try if they were not forced to.

Basil W. Maturin

No law is an issue until someone tries to enforce it.

Grace Llewellyn

Every single person who tries to juggle a family and their life knows all those things that pull at you.

Margaret Brennan

If life is merely a joke, the question still remains: for whose amusement? No one knows what he can do till he tries.

Publilius Syrus

One of the things an actor tries to access is immediacy, so that you feel like you're experiencing it for the first time. But when you're playing a character who knows what's going to happen and can't stop himself to reacting although he knows he can't stop himself from reacting, there's a whole separate set of things to consider.

Billy Crudup
