“The people on Wall Street broke this country, and they did it one lousy mortgage at a time. It happened more than three years ago, and there has been no real accountability, and there has been no real effort to fix it.”

I have a daughter and I have granddaughters and I will never vote to let a group of backward-looking ideologues cut women’s access to birth control. We have lived in that world, and we are not going back, not ever.

My response [to fear of being poor]was to study contracts, finance, economics, to plan, to have a goal, to work on that goal. To learn everything I could. I always poked at the things that scared me most.

People feel like the system is rigged against them, and here is the painful part, they’re right. The system is rigged.

We don’t win what we don’t fight for.

College students today are drowning in debt, and it is hurting them and hurting our economy. We must find a way to help families pay for college without condemning them to a lifetime of indebtedness.

That’s how we build the economy of the future. An economy with more jobs and less debt, we root it in fairness. We grow it with opportunity. And we build it together.

We need to remind politicians they don’t work for the big banks – they work for us.

The need for comprehensive reform must not blind us to the urgency of addressing the massive debt that’s already crushing our young people.

Balancing your money is the key to having enough.

We should be talking about expanding Social Security benefits – not cutting them.

Pundits talk about ‘populist rage’ as a way to trivialize the anger and fear coursing through the middle class.

I think having a fighter in the lead, a female fighter in the lead, is exactly what America needs.

There are a lot of things that people say about Hillary Clinton. But nobody says that she doesn’t know how to throw a punch.

Donald Trump is a person who is an insecure money-grubber who cares about nothing but himself.

Donald Trump is a threat to who we are as a people.

I love the work I do.

Some outlets shouldn’t even call themselves news providers; they’re just entertainment gossip without any sort of accountability or fact-checking.

There’s responsibility, but there’s also accountability. You have to be accountable for your actions. You have to stand at your locker when things are going bad.

Human beings should be held accountable. Leave God alone. He has enough problems.

If the Saudis were culpable, they should be held accountable. If they had nothing to do with 9/11, they have nothing to fear.

Either our wills are determined by prior causes and we are not responsible for them, or they are the product of chance and we are not responsible for them.

Admit to and make yourself accountable for mistakes. How can you improve if you’re never wrong?

Self-examination is the process of accountability to your soul. It is far better to “become” your truth than to speak your truth. Self-examination is the practice of becoming your truth.

There has never been a master plan. Anyone who wanted to do it, we fired because it takes on a life of its own and doesn’t cover new reality. We want people taking into account new information.
