Does your country or island have a saying that shows local pride?

Culture

I was thinking about how different cultures express pride through little sayings or proverbs.

For example:

In Trinidad & Tobago we say “Trini 2 d Bone” (to mean fully, proudly Trini).

In Jamaica, there’s “Wi likkle but wi tallawah” (small but mighty).

( Correct me if am wrong please Jamaicans, I was told this by my Jamaican friend living in Trinbago)

Do you have a local phrase or saying like that where you’re from? One that shows off your people’s pride, toughness, or uniqueness?
