"the great work that has been done at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been done not because of but in spite of opposition."

"We have reached a point in time where we have to take the axe of truth and slam it into the tree of circumstance and let the chips fall where they may."

"I am very much concerned about overreach."
