Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
I found out that colonels can stay until they drop dead or get a walker and being a critical medical specialty as an Army trained emergency room doctor, I could stay until age 67.
