The thing about America that people don’t understand is that it’s a land of extremes.

The biggest winners and the biggest losers are both here.

We don’t do moderation.

America is a playground for human expression, but it’s also a game of raw power.

America has winners and losers. Never delude yourself about that fact.

But if you are looking in on those who’ve crashed out and feeling superior from your comfortable spot in the middle.

Don’t look up, because your smug sense of self satisfaction will not survive contact with a glimpse of an American titan.

As Americans we keep our eye on our best and strive to make it to those high heights ourselves.

You’re never out of the game until you give up or die.

No one is ever really poor in America. Everyone is just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire.

Take away billionaire and this reads better to me. You can meet a ton of people who have wayyyy more money but aren’t nearly as happy… usually they are the ones without kids.

I think those without kids just tell you that because they can’t admit they missed out on the things that bring true happiness and wealth. Kids, grandkids and family.

We're all born in the gutter but some of us are looking up at the stars

i stopped reading at moderation

am I doing it right
