Rashness belongs to youth; prudence to old age.

It may be taken for granted that, rash as Americans usually are, when they are prudent, there is good reason for it.

I really am a thinker. I don't do things rash. I know some of the things I've said or the way I act seem rash. But I do take ownership of it. I don't say things I don't mean.

Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.

Resistance to criminal rashness comes better late than never.

Sometimes, people can be extraordinarily judgmental and closed-minded to anyone different or special, which is why it's so hard for young people in this day and age to be comfortable enough in their own skin to not listen to the people picking on them.

Unfortunately, in some parts of the country, some kids are taught at an early age that being different is somehow bad or wrong or worthy of ridicule.

When you're young, you're always concerned about how you're being seen and how you're being criticized.

I've always been the person at the table who is like, 'I have this weird rash. Anybody else have this?'

When you are young, you are a little naive.
