My pain is my badge of honor.
Be neither insufficiently spirited nor over spirited. An elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. Do not let the enemy see your spirit.
Courage – a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.
The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it.
A warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does.
The warrior is Here, Now.
The warrior acts, the fool reacts.

If a man does his best, what else is there?
In case of doubt, push on just a little further and then keep on pushing.
Duty is the essence of manhood.

Be brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual life, fight as long as there is any life in you. Even though you know you are going to be killed, fight till you “are killed.” Don’t die of fright. Die fighting. Don’t go down till you are knocked down.
