If you never try, you'll never know what you are capable of.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is important to step out of one's comfort zone and take risks in order to discover one's true potential. By not trying, one denies themselves the opportunity to explore new possibilities and expand their abilities. It emphasizes the idea that embracing challenges and facing them head-on is key to personal growth and uncovering hidden talents or strengths. To truly discover what one is capable of, one must be willing to take a chance and push past the fear of failure.

We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations.
