Tweetable Quotes:
“When you understand your humanity, it gives you a chance to understand and have compassion for others.” - Anthony Trucks
“When you finally step in and take control of who you're becoming, you start finding that that person is the one responsible for everything that you have and don't have. And when you get to control and understand how to pull the levers, hit the switches, push the buttons, it gives you a different sense of control, of hope, of aspiration, because you can actually see the pathway to what you want to achieve in life.” - Anthony Trucks
