In the Netherlands we got a quote which is related to our theoretical tests.
In this we use grades from 1 till 10. When you've got a 6 or higher you've succeeded.

The quote is this one: "for every grade higher than a 6, you've spent to little time with you family"

From the Fire Line leadership course:

We trained very hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn in this life that we tend to meet any situation by reorganizing, and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization. - Petronius Arbiter Roman soldier 60 A.D.
