Robert A. Heinlein
Take big bites. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Robert A. Heinlein
Heroism' often consists in keeping your head in an emergency and doing the best you can with what you have instead of panicking and being shot in the tail. People who fight this way win more battles than do intentional heroes a glory hound often throws away the lives of his mates as well as his own.
Robert A. Heinlein
