All I can say is I was a lot more discreet as a candidate than I was in real life. Can I say that? Maybe it's indiscreet to talk about discretion.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Writing laws based on an abstract theory, rather than reality, is a dangerous undertaking.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I was 30 before I realized, you know, that I probably was an accident. These things just suddenly hit you one day.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
If you don't talk about families, then it's easy to disembody subprime mortgages and asset securitization and unemployment rates without remembering that every one of those numbers is a million families.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
You have to remember: what are incomes to banks are outgoes to families.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I think a lot of Americans are not sure which side Washington is on: the side of banks or the side of the people.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
There's been such a sense that there's one set of rules for trillion-dollar financial institutions and a different set for all the rest of us. It's so pervasive that it's not even hidden.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I never sought nor gained personal benefit in school or job applications based on my heritage.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Growing up, my mother and grandparents often talked about our family's Native American heritage. As a kid, I never thought to ask them for documentation - what kid would?
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I know what I am in Washington to do: I'm here to fight for hardworking families.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I had a baby and stayed home for a couple of years, and I was really casting about, thinking, 'What am I going to do?' My husband's view of it was, 'Stay home... We'll have more children; you'll love this.' And I was very restless about it.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Are you ready to fight for good jobs and and a solid level playing field? Are you ready to prove to another generation of Americans that we can build a better country and a newer world? Joe Biden is ready. Barack Obama is ready. I am ready. You're ready.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Mitt Romney is the guy who said corporations are people. No, Governor Romney, corporations are not people.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Me, I was waiting tables of 13 and married at 19. I graduated from public schools, and taught elementary school.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Like a lot of you, I grew up in a family on the ragged edges of the middle class. My daddy sold carpeting and ended up as a maintenance man. After he had a heart attack, my mom worked the phones at Sears so we could hang on to our house.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I get heartfelt thanks from all kinds of people. Today I heard from a waitress in Georgia who has lost her job and is trying to figure out how her local bank can change the terms on her credit card, and I heard from a physicist at a major research university who wants to explain a better theory of financial stress tests.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
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.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
You have two pages, that's the whole credit card agreement. The terms are clear and flat and easy to see so anyone can read them. So you could lay four credit cards in front of you and say, 'Oh, that's the one that has the highest rate, that's the one that has the really scary provision that could hurt me.'
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I do not understand how it is that financial institutions could think that they could take taxpayer money and then turn around and act like it's business as usual. I don't understand how they can't see that the world has changed in a fundamental way, that it is not business as usual when you take taxpayer dollars.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything in your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Families rely on financial services more than ever, but those who need them most - who struggle to make ends meet - too often must contend with sky-high interest rates and tricks and traps buried in the fine print of their loan products.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
If there had been a Financial Product Safety Commission in place 10 years ago, the current financial crisis would have been averted.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Raising the minimum wage means we have workers paying more in to support the Social Security system.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
America's middle class is getting hammered, and Washington is rigged to work for the big guy.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
With post offices and postal workers already on the ground, USPS could partner with banks to make a critical difference for millions of Americans who don't have basic banking services because there are almost no banks or bank branches in their neighborhoods.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I got married at 19 and graduated from a commuter college in Texas that cost $50 a semester. The way I see it, I'm a janitor's daughter who became a public school teacher, a professor, and a United States Senator. America is truly a country of opportunity!
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
We've seen filibusters to block judicial nominations, jobs bills, political transparency, ending Big Oil subsidies - you name it, there's been a filibuster.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Going to college and finding a good job no longer guarantee economic safety.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
There is one thing Anthony Weiner and I agree on: there are a lot of smart, hard-working people in the financial industry.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Bankruptcy exposes the economic vulnerability and insecurity of middle class women.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
G.E. doesn't pay any taxes, and we are asking college kids to take on even more debt to get an education and asking seniors to get by on less. These aren't just economic questions. These are moral questions.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. And that matters.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Even families with health insurance are quite vulnerable to a severe economic reversal if someone gets sick.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I want millionaires and billionaires and Big Oil companies to pay their fair share.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Credit card agreements run as long as 30 pages, and it's 30 pages of largely incomprehensible text.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I made it real clear to the business community - if your plan for innovation is to trick people, is to fool them, is not to tell them the truth about the price, then you're right: I'm going to be right in the way.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
When I first started talking about running for office, a lot of people said to me, 'Don't let the consultants change you,' and I'd always assured them that I wouldn't allow it to happen. But like it or not, I had to change. Not because of a consultant, but because I started to understand the cost of a stupid mistake.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets. I think that is not true anymore. I was a Republican at a time when I felt like there was a problem that the markets were under a lot more strain. It worried me whether or not the government played too activist a role.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
We've seen filibusters of bills and nominations that ultimately passed with 90 or more votes. Why filibuster something that has that kind of support? Just to slow down the process and keep the Senate from working.
