The Secret is Never Try

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.” 
― Narcotics Anonymous

I hate this quote, especially when it's abridged to just, "Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results." It's anti-perseverance and inaccurate in non-deterministic environments (i.e. life). It's like saying to some who wants a coin to land heads to give up if they flip it a couple times and get only tails.
