"Never stop pushing for what you want! If something is truly important to you, stay diligent and find a way. Depending on whom you ask, the answer may be different. Never settle for the first answer! Do your own research, ask different people, go above other people's head if you have to. Sometimes it's necessary to push the envelope. Some people will purposely give you the wrong answer to try to stop you and/or hold you back. This, unfortunately, is a reality. Some people's intentions are all wrong. Be mindful that not everyone will have your best interest at heart."
"There is always the potential to manage every element of your reality."
"You put the thing that does the killing between your teeth, but you never give it the power to kill you."

"I will defend anyone as long as the client gives me total control of the case and pays up front."
