Default If at first you don't succeed...?

I've heard that saying many times, "If at first you don't succeed..." but how does it end? No one ever finishes the cursed sentence and it's killing me!

(Or as it's said in The Dig: "If at first you don't succeeb(a)")

try again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again until you are ready to quit then suddenly you realize the simple solution to the problem and you go on....
