The full quote is "Try not. Do or do not!! There is no try." The quote means that one should not approach a task with the attitude that only an attempt will be made. Instead, when approaching a task the mentality should be to either accomplish it or not. What he's trying to say is that you either do something or don't, you don't just try.

There are two ways of understanding Yoda's instruction, "Try not. Do or do not there is no try."

Firstly, Yoda could be telling Luke that he should commit himself to doing the task at hand or choose not to do it. In other words, "Don't just try, commit yourself to doing or not doing something". This would be a more Western-style interpretation.

The second, and I feel that this is more in keeping with the character, is a more spiritual instruction. "Try" refers to effort and intention. Yoda instructs "No effort or intention from you, just do or don't do (as you are guided or as feels natural)". This would be a more Zen or Eastern-style interpretation.

(Episode V) Well you kinda said that wrong but I know what you are talking about.

The famous phrase "Do or do not. There is no try" means simply that there can really only be success or failure and that "try" is obsolete because of it's pure worthlessness. It's worthless because "try" is an expression of little or no effort, giving only failure. Only when you are determined to succeed will you do so. This very well fits with how Luke Skywalker said "Alright I'll try" when about to pull his X-wing from the swampy pond. He was undetermined and didn't want to try again. Due to his unsureness of what Yoda said(the phrase of conversation), he was still unable to succeed in pulling out the X-wing.

Star Wars Episode V: Empire Strikes Back.

Specifically, Master Yoda delivers the quote to Luke Skywalker during his training. The point of the quote is that an action's success depends on willpower and only with willpower and mental fortitude are tasks achievable.
