“By faith I applied for law school; by faith I took the bar exam. Even when they told me, ‘You may not be sworn in because you went to because you went to jail for a crime of dishonesty,’ I said, ‘You’re saying that, but my God told me that I would be a lawyer.’ So, by faith. Hold onto faith. It’ll never fail you.”
