Quotables

“The one thing I’m grateful for is that my dad taught me personal responsibility.”

“Adults are really just big, oversized children that vote ourselves favors.”

“We have to be careful of this because it’s easy for our self-interest to get in our way to vote for ways that we want.”

“Just because the majority wanted it at that time, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the best thing to do.”

“The degree is not the power. The power is supposed to be what you learn and what you walk away with.”

“I can tell you that I’ve learned more since dropping those licenses about money than I ever did back then.”

“Why would we bail out our own children? Why would we rob them of their personal accountability, responsibility, and growth?”
