never say never
never say never
Do not say that something is impossible, that it will never happen, or that you will never do it, because anything is possible. The term first appeared in Charles Dickens' novel The Pickwick Papers. A: "I'll never be good enough to make the team." B: "Never say never. Just keep practicing and see what happens." I know you say we don't have to worry about that scenario, but never say never.
