> You can't fail if you don't launch

There's a phrase "failure to launch" that would imply the opposite sentiment

I believe that the parent commenter means "you can't fail if you don't try"

If you're too risk adverse to even try, then just sit down and get out of the way. I want to put the shut up part of that quote in there too as in quit fighting for contracts/bids that could go to people that aren't afraid.

You can't fail if you don't try, but you can't succeed either.
