Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
After a storm comes a calm.
It's always too early to quit.
I did my military service from 1989 - 92 and I was never shot at or had to fire on anybody. I was very lucky. I was more involved in intelligence and counter-intelligence.
