Proverb

“Almost doesn’t count only in horse shoes and hand grenades.”

Eric remembers learning this proverb from his Grandfather. Eric says you use it when you are close and have not quite reached the finish line or the mark of completion. This proverb is mostly used when plying sports, card games, or when you are almost finished with something but have not fully completed it.
