@TheThomasTT There's an old addage in flying. It states, "It's better to be on the ground, wishing you were up there, than to be up there, wishing you were on the ground."

V1 is V1 (V1 meaning the minimum speed no matter what you must go to the air or get out of the runway - Including engine failures)

@wayne11122000 Nice post. I've known the saying: "Any landing you can walk away from . . .", however I've never heard this one before.  Peace.
