As far as sayings goes, here are a few:

Failure is not in falling down, but refusing to get back up.

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

It's is better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

To cover all the earth with sheets of leather-
Where could such amounts be found?
But with the leather soles of just my shoes
It is as though I cover all the earth!

A quote to remind you that you can?t change the world or external events. All you can do is change the way you approach it and respond to challenges.

'That's life in a blue suit' said to you, every time something sh*tty happens in the RN; usually by matelots who are the first to moan when something bitchy happens to them! Usually followed by 'you shouldn't have joined up if you can't take a joke!'
