Know or listen to those who know.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To say that you now trust the Russian military command and control system because some Russian general told you from the bottom of his heart that's the case, strikes me as most unrealistic.
