Whether you think you can or think you can't you're probably right.

Civil War

I flew the Atlantic because I wanted to. To want in one's heart to do a thing, for its own sake; to enjoy doing it; to concentrate all one's energies upon it¾that is not only the surest guarantee of success. It is also being true to oneself. Amelia Earhart

Cats

If a man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve the man but deteriorate the cat. Mark Twain

Ralph Waldo Emerson
