Or:
"Though I pass through the valley of death, I shall have no fear.
For I am at 80,000 feet and climbing."
It's been said, but: "Be Prepared"
Also, I may be wrong about the Russian spelling, but: "Ni shagau nazad!"="Not one step back!"

"If you can't truck it-f**k it!"
That's what a Marine veteran said was the motto for their TOW missile-carrying Humvee unit in the Gulf War.

According to ktroop.com, the motto was chosen In a contest in 1920. Captain John Merrill of H troop submitted the winning entry. So it's possible that Capt. Merrill served in France, and that's why?
