Don't try harder. Try better.
Haste makes waste.
Come as you are, not as you want to be seen.
Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

It came about in the trenches during the first world war. Soldiers from both sides would keep watch to see if there was any activity from the enemy. When soldiers decided to have a cigarette, the match was struck and immediately an enemy soldier shouldered his rifle and fired at the light. If there were 3 cigarettes to be lit there was a fair chance he might just have time to shoot someone in the head.
