I can, therefore I am.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It seems that American patriotism measures itself against an outcast group. The right Americans are the right Americans because they're not like the wrong Americans, who are not really Americans.
