a few phrases I came across that I like...
"No mistake or failure is as bad as to stop and not try again."
"Happiness is not the absence of conflict but the ability to cope with it."
"Don't take yourself too seriously if you wish to get any joy out of life."

I like the first one - sounds very SERE
The 2nd one - might ask AQ about that.

I think it remains to be seen whether we have the will to finish the job.

A hundred years from now
it will not matter
what my bank account was,
the sort of house I lived in,
or the kind of car I drove.
But, the world may be different
because I was important
in the life of a child.

Mine all have a certain theme:
There's something about the outside of a horse that's good for the inside of a man.
~Sir Winston Churchill
A horse gallops with its lungs, perserveres with its heart, and wins with its character.
~Tessio
There is just as much horse sense as ever, but the horses have most of it.
~ Anonymous
It doesn't start with a horse,
It begins with a frame of mind.
For the long run it's the test of the ring,
But in short it's the test of time.
Patience is Dressage.
~Anonymous

There are 3 things in life that are inevitable; death, taxes, and shit happening.
Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer.
Karma's a bitch. Better stay on my good side.

"Situation excellent, I am attacking!"
(I know, I know, every quote list has to have some Foch but this is a genuine approach to life!)
NDD wrote an excellent paragraph or eight on the SF mindset. Grab any contiguous sentences from that post and they will apply here.

One I picked up last night from my new OSS book:
"If you fall, fall foward." William Donovan

On a similar theme-
"It's not about how hard or fall you fall, but how quickly you come back again."

Heres mine
As long as I can remember I have always lived by this,
Ich will Niemals Aufgeben! (I will never quit!) Thanks JM
This has become a mantra to me when Im sucking the most. I keep repeating it in my head as I continue to drive on.
My old man used to always tell me that quiting like everything else can become a habbit. This is a habbit I should never have.
My second one is my signature below also by my old man.

You ain't cheating, you ain't trying....
Win at all costs, cuz no one gives a fuck why you lost......
When driving, gross tonnage ALWAYS wins....
Better to have and not need, then need and not have!
Better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6!
Better to fight dirty then to lose clean......
