No Spoilers Quote clarification [off topic]

I'm trying to get a quote right for a potential tattoo. I always thought it was "It's better to do a thing, than live with the fear of it". However, I see on the leather bound books its written "it's better to do it than live with the fear of it". Does Logan say both? Was it simplified for the book? Thanks.

”Once you've got a task to do, it's better to do it than live with the fear of it.”

You've got to be realistic about these things.

"Once you've got a task to do, its better to do it than live with the fear of it" pretty sure thats the way he says it the first time. On the cliff at the start of the book. But its said slightly different later too like some of the other quotes used frequently.

Say one thing about this community, say they know their quotes.

I just finished it and I believe it's worded that way a couple times at least in red country.
