Kilde:

Sitatet blir ofte tillagt W. C. Field, men er sannsynligvis en parafrase basert på Leacock essay: Simple Stories of Success or How to Succeed in Life (1917).

Engelsk:

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

Del av:

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.”
