The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Never complain and never explain.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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.
