As fans of 1985's American Flyers will recall, this great slogan tee makes repeated appearances throughout the film, punctuated by a climactic training sequence during which the empowering motto is explained for the characters, and by extension, the audience as well.

One is more formal - "A firm resolve is not easily broken" - while the other is somewhat, shall we say, more bastardized: "Once you get it up, keep it up."
