The person who is waiting for something to turn up might start with their shirt sleeves.: Garth Henrichs

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.: Hemingway
If you are near the enemy, make him believe you are far from him. If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near.: Sun-Tzu (~400 BC), The Art of War
