More quotes by Barbara Boxer
The day you realize you're a grownup is the day you realize that you have to do something. When we're kids, we don't have to do anything. Then all of a sudden you realize, if I want this to be better, I've got to do something.
Barbara Boxer
When you take a stand out of deep conviction, people know. They may not even agree, but they ask, 'Do I want someone who is willing to take a hard stand and someone I can trust to do that when the chips are down?' They want that.
Barbara Boxer
I think being prepared for anything is the way to go.
Barbara Boxer

Barbara Boxer
Voting against the resolution authorizing the use of military force in Iraq was one of my proudest moments as a senator. It is long past time to close this tragic chapter in American history.
Barbara Boxer
You have to be an optimist to be in politics.

In the early stages of a pregnancy, the Government cannot intervene with a woman's right to choose. That is it, plain and simple. Guess what. We are not going to be big brother or sister, as the case may be. We are going to allow a woman, her doctor, and her God to make that decision.
Barbara Boxer
Just look at the Judiciary Committee, You have some people on the Judiciary Committee who may well decide not to send the nomination to the floor, and now it all depends on what Democrats do.

It is in Saudi Arabia's best interest to allow women to fully participate in its society, and this includes the right to vote and run for office.
Barbara Boxer
I believe in truth-telling. So let's call it what it is. It's very troubling to see people like Bannon who make anti-Semitic remarks, who has a very checkered past be sitting next to the president of the United States. It puts an absolute responsibility on all of us to call it the way we see it and not use expressions like alt-right.
Barbara Boxer
If you want to be a leader, it doesn't mean that you have to have an opinion on everything. But if you do have an opinion and it is clear and you feel strongly about it, then you should say it.
Barbara Boxer
You stand up to bullies. Don't shrink back. You fight back with all your strength, and the press is going to have to do it, politicians are going to have to do it, all of us are going to have to do it.
Barbara Boxer
I've always thought of myself as a catalyst. Look, it's not without its perils. Ann Coulter called me learning disabled. The things people write about me.
Barbara Boxer
It's good I was born in Brooklyn. You learn how to take care of yourself.
Barbara Boxer
Americans have long recognized the need to protect our public lands and their vast resources
Barbara Boxer
More than anything, I think as our country matures, we recognize that women deserve to be treated with respect and dignity
Barbara Boxer
Our message will be that we're going to make federal government buildings a model - an energy-efficient model - and also start matching grants for cities and counties so that they can also do the same with their government buildings.
Barbara Boxer
I am sure that every one of my colleagues Democrat, Republican, and Independent agrees with that statement. That in the voting booth, every one is equal.
Barbara Boxer
I take great solace in the fact that Donald Trump lost the popular vote. Hillary Clinton got over 2.5 million more votes than Donald Trump got. So I can't say in any way that the people think that harassing women is appropriate. So I don't think we should read into his victory the fact that, you know, women's rights are going to be diminished.
