Why do they have the saying "never say never" they just said it! I don't get it!?

Question

Why do they have the saying "never say never" they just said it! I don't get it!?

Answer 1

It's meant to be paradoxical and thus memorable and funny. It's actually one of what Bertrand Russell called a paradox of classes and can't be true ( hence paradoxical ).

Answer 2

they mean never say it in a negitive way.

Answer 3

They mean don't make absolute statements, such as, "I would never do such and such"or," I will never amount to anything", because you never know what you are capable of or, for that matter, what is around the corner.
