How do you reconcile these two sayings?

Trying the same thing over and over is a sign of insanity.

Try try, and try again.

No it’s doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results that is insanity.

Nothing wrong with trying to accomplish something over and over again.

When attempting to reconcile antagonymic apophthegms, if at first you don’t succeed – to heck with it.

Always remember that many hands make light work of too many cooks to spoil the broth.

Yeah, you can’t recognize anatomical arachnids. Or what they said.

Fortune favors the bold, yet discretion is the better part of valor.

Which is worse: biting the hand that feeds you, or feeding the mouth that bites you?

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Then again, beware Greeks bearing gifts.
