I am willing to bet that there are some Puerto Ricans who don’t know about [their status].

What's quote-unquote a 'good' lawyer, doctor, or whatever the profession is. And if you're a male who grew up professionally in a male-dominated profession then your image of what a good lawyer is is a male image.

It really takes growing up to treasure the specialness of being different.

I do think there is a value in the services of judges for long periods of time.

In every position that I've been in, there have been naysayers who don't believe I'm qualified or who don't believe I can do the work. And I feel a special responsibility to prove them wrong.

Although wisdom is built on life experiences, the mere accumulation of years guarantees nothing.

I strive never to forget the real world consequences of my decisions on individuals, businesses and government.
