Which ones did you like best? ...of all the quotes, not just on humor. G. K. Chesterton: Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly; devils fall because of their gravity.

If you knew you could not fail, then it wouldn't be an 'attempt'. surely. You only attempt something if there is uncertainty. if there is certainty, you just 'Do'.
"A native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said:
'I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one.'
The grandson asked him:
'Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?'
The grandfather answered:
'The one I feed.'
