The first qualification of a soldier is fortitude under fatigue and privation. Courage is only the second; hardship, poverty, and want are the best school of the soldier.

If courage is the first characteristic of the soldier, perseverance is the second.

In time of revolution, with perseverance and courage, a soldier should think nothing impossible.

Turks can be killed, but they can never be conquered.

If you can't fly, run; if you can't run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.

Never be discouraged, because every wrong turn attempt, when left behind you, is another step forward taking you closer to your goals.
