Fourth Quotes

Fourth grade memories, Halloween costumes, and finishing just short of the podium.

Several of these quotes circle back to fourth grade specifically, one speaker didn't meet their father until then, another was diagnosed with a learning difference around the same age. If constitutional references interest you more, the Amendment quotes take the number in a different direction.

Amendment Quotes
