“During my first round of law school applications, I didn't even apply ...” — J. D. Vance Quote

During my first round of law school applications, I didn't even apply to Yale, Harvard, or Stanford - the mystical 'top three' schools. I didn't think I had a chance at those places. More important, I didn't think it mattered; all lawyers get good jobs, I assumed.

It's difficult in the abstract to appreciate that those with morally objectionable viewpoints can still be good people.

If you think about what folks have been doing for 20 or 30 years, they have been bottling frustration and resentment that the political elites don't understand them, that the political elites don't care about them, that the political elites judge them in various ways. All Donald Trump does is provide the opposite of those things.

You destroy the initiative of the working people if they don't feel they have a fighting chance to be a part of the American Dream.

I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it... The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on.

If you are not able to do something, that is true for the present, not for the future. All the time there's a chance to go a step further. Not to be frustrated.
