Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, by Rita Mae Brown from life Quotes and Sayings

Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again,
by Rita Mae Brown

There is a fine line between perseverance and insanity.
At what point have you tried your best,
and it's time to do something different?
It's a balance - a paradox.
If you get in the habit of giving up
as soon as something gets difficult,
your life won't work,
but if you keep tilting at windmills -
madly trying the same thing again and again,
your life also won't work.

on the part of the recipient.

the greatest fear of humankind,

lies in living in the moment -
enjoying what you are doing today.
You don't need a reason to be happy,
just a choice.
