“Part of my job is to make sense of all that I hear, and to retell it in a forceful way so that the decision-makers at Treasury can hear it. At least that’s how I see 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.

We’re Americans. We celebrate success. We just don’t want the game to be rigged.

It’s better to fight because if you don’t fight, you can’t win. Besides, even when you don’t win, you can change the game.

I’m really concerned that ‘too big to fail’ has become ‘too big for trial’.

It’s a simple idea: We all do better when we work together and invest in our future.

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.

If you think about the long term then you can really make good life decisions that you won’t regret later.

When you know something is wrong for you, you have to make difficult decisions and trust your instincts.

An investor should act as though he had a lifetime decision card with just twenty punches on it.

A society in which such decisions can only be made by males has thrown away half of its knowledge, talents, and insights.

Love is a decision – not an emotion!

What is the secret of success? Right decisions. How do you make right decisions? Experience. How do you gain experience? Wrong decisions.

The most important decisions you make are not the things you do, but the things you decide not to do.

Every day we make decisions, big and small. Those choices paint a picture of who we are.
