Trying...
"Do or do not, there is no try",
(controversial decision by referee Yoda in the Star Wars rugby match.)
via @Tonycowards
but seriously,
I have seen several folk who feel that "He tried" is a suitable epitaph for their gravestones - I'm with Yoda on this, I couldn't stand that as an epitaph.
my own would be, "he made good people feel better"
so, discounting any anti-Star wars representations about "effort"-
what would your ideal epitaph be?
