“We don’t win what we don’t fight for.”

Getting straight with your money is as complicated as a trip to the grocery store: You need a comparison shop, add and subtract, stick with a plan, and ask questions- nothing more.

There are those who believe justice and dignity are reserved only for some people. Young men have died in police custody, and the growing heel of poverty has worn down harder on children of color…We must fight back.

The game is rigged to work for those who already have money and power.

Keep a little space in your heart for the improbable. You won’t regret it.

There is an ugly side to Donald Trump that we all have to stop and think about what’s going on here.

This country isn’t working for working people. It’s working only for people at the top. That’s not the American dream. That’s the American nightmare.

The people who are filing for bankruptcy in increasing numbers every year, it’s not the poorest. It’s not the people at the economic fringes. It’s people who worked hard and played by the rules.

If there’s any lesson I’ve learned in the last five years, it’s don’t be so sure about what lies ahead. There are amazing doors that could open.

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.

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.

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

Persistence, persistence, and persistence. The Power can be created and maintained through daily practice – continuous effort.

We are all born with a divine fire in us. Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire and fill the world with the glow of its goodness.

Sometimes I believe that God wants to try me, both now and later on; I must become good through my own efforts, without examples and without good advice.

We can’t control the impressions others form about us, and the effort to do so only debases our character.

Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.

Most failures could have been converted into successes if someone had held on another minute or made more effort.

If you try and fail, make another effort, and still another until you succeed.
