Back in college one night scrounging up cash for top shelf beer (keystone ice) . I pulled my wallet to give $10 and all I had was a $20. I told my buddy give me a $10 back. He said no we need it. I said u got $80 that enough for to much beer. He said "it's not having to much beer I'm worried about, it's the running out part that scares me"

Well I donated $20

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." - Theodore Roosevelt

When it comes to volunteering, championing a cause, or the pursuit of other worthy efforts I'm partial to TR's man in the arena quote:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Teddy Roosevelt
