1 is the beginning of everything. Without 1, there would be no 2, 3, or anything at all. 2 is merely a derivative.

1 is the only number that remains unchanged when used in multiplication or division. 2 cannot claim the same.

1 is the most economical number. One digit, one symbol, minimal effort—maximum meaning. 2 represents redundancy.

1 is a winner. "First" means champion; "second" means the first among the losers.

1 represents wholeness. "One" implies unity, indivisibility, and solidity. 2 implies bifurcation, conflict, and duality.

1 represents uniqueness. There is only one "one." There can be any number of twos (2, 22, 222...).

1 is a divine number. In many cultures, the number one symbolizes the primordial source, the Absolute, and God.

1 is odd, and therefore independent. 2 is divisible by 1, whereas 1 is divisible by nothing but itself. Who is in charge here?

1 means "yes." In logic, 1 equals "true" and 2 equals "false" (conventionally speaking). Truth is always better.

1 is you. A single person can change everything. Two people make a crowd, and a crowd does not think.
