If you think you can do it, you can.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Who seeks shall find.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
After a storm comes a calm.
Know or listen to those who know.
All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true.
