I had no idea how the tags were going to go, so I hope it didn't cause any thoughts of being misled.

While in Bible study I thought of the secular quote "the definition of insanity" who originated it and what was the full quote. Something like "repeating something and expecting a different result."

I would like to know the circumstances that resulted in the quote. I need context to understand better what the originator meant. For instance was it a reference of obsessive-compulsive? But then I suppose that those of that affliction aren't attempting to get a different result.

But what of the guy that invented a way to get electricity? He tried over and over with the intent of getting a different result. But that has to talking about experimentation to find what works.

So now I'm back to requesting an example, either real or hypothetical.

P.S. And, for some strange reason I also thought of Groundhog Day.
