The first person pronoun I is always capitalized in any sentence. All other pronouns are capitalized ONLY when it is the first word of a sentence.

For example, this famous Abraham Lincoln quote, "Youcan fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

Note that the word 'you' that starts the sentence is capitalized, but the word 'you' within the quote is not capitalized.

Anothe instance of capitalizing a pronoun is, if the word 'you' part of a title, for example "Where'd You Go, Bernadette", a novel by Maria Semple
