Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 03, 2017

As Homer Simpson said to Bart when Bart quit playing the guitar:

Of course I’m not mad. If something’s hard to do, then it’s not worth doing.

This reminds me of one of the stupidest things people say: “Don’t try, do it!”

:

That’s like saying, “Don’t move, exercise!”

You won’t be a loser, but you will be boring.

I stopped trying, now my ex-girlfriend is dating a guy 20 years younger then me:( Now I have a lot more money . . . and a lot less love:(

If it was not for someone trying none of us would be here…….got to have love :-)

People who say they don’t make mistakes, don’t do anything!

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No sense being a damn fool about it.”~ W.C. Fields

No gain … no pain!

Goat saysRat should be a motivational speaker. Well, Rat tried that once……

Trying is the first step toward failure.

Trying is for losers,And losing is for tryers.And no matter how hard chickens try,They still end up as fryers.

I started my first ever job today and before that, I always considered myself a failure.

So if it works for me. It can work for Pig!

One day after his second drink of the evening, Dad opined to me: “If you only learn one french word, make it the word “persevere”..look it up.”

Pig will be a failure at Not Trying, because he tried too hard.

Pig exists to lose. It is his karma. Cartoon-Boy has made it so….

These are truly trying times.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again. If she threatens to call the cops, however, better just give up.

Thanks, Giblets and Hellcat- you got it!

lesson: don’t try ever
