Best Answer

The quote is credited to American author Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915).

I believe what he meant by the saying is that if you do nothing in your life because you are afraid of making a mistake, then you will find your life wasted and nothing done. Hubbard seems to be saying that in his opinion, there would be no greater mistake than a wasted life.
