More quotes by Cory Booker
Leadership is not a position or a title, it is action and example.
Cory Booker
I caution anyone who in their protest becomes the very thing that they're protesting against. Meaning turning to hateful speech, violating principles and ideals that are sacred in America. We need to raise our voices, but we do not need to indulge in hate.
Cory Booker
For an economy built to last we must invest in what will fuel us for generations to come. This is our history - from the Transcontinental Railroad to the Hoover Dam, to the dredging of our ports and building of our most historic bridges - our American ancestors prioritized growth and investment in our nation's infrastructure.
Cory Booker
Remember that the biggest thing you could do today is a small act of kindness.
Cory Booker
Greatness is helping others realize they are great, beautiful and capable. Genius is seeing the wonder and possibility in those others ignore.
Cory Booker
Before you tell me what you teach and preach, show me how you live and give.
Cory Booker
The history in our country speaks to our highest values of people who did not accept things as they are and go along with them. They resisted, they refused to accept the world as it is, they demanded it to be a better reflection of their highest dreams and highest aspirations.
Cory Booker
Go out there and swear to this world your oath, not with your words, but with what you do. Not with your hand over your heart, but with your hand outstretched to a world that desperately needs your hand, your help, your insights, your creativity, your honor, your courage. It needs you.
Cory Booker
You cant have a physical transformation until you have a spiritual transformation.
Cory Booker
We should not be scrimping on investments in public safety. The lack of infrastructure spending is costing us lives in America. It's costing every commuter.
Cory Booker
Give the respect you want to receive embody the grace you hope to encounter and help others with no expectations whatsoever.
Cory Booker
I still have that new senator smell.
Cory Booker
Life is about where you are right now, and the choices you make.
Cory Booker
I hope and understand that people are getting a better recognition that food stamps is a program that really helps America, helps families in need. It's not a government handout. If anything, it's a safety net that helps people through difficult times and bridges them towards stability.
Cory Booker
As I review the great history of our nation, community organizers have been at the center of so many of our great social movements.
Cory Booker
We choose forward. We choose inclusion. We choose growing together. We choose American economic might and muscle, standing strong on the bedrock of the American ideal: a strong, empowered and ever-growing middle class.
Cory Booker
Give more than is expected, love more than seems wise, serve more than seems necessary, and help more than is asked.
Cory Booker
We want everybody to think about what's in their interests. And I believe that our Democratic party platform has a better vision and better actually pathway for white Americans, as well black Americans, Latino Americans, women, and so forth, to be successful.
Cory Booker
What I don't want to see my Democratic party do is to begin to talk down towards white men, as if their concerns are not legitimate and that we shouldn't be listening to a lot of their aspirations and hopes as well.
Cory Booker
Can you every single day tell a true testimony of who you are? That's really what life is about.
Cory Booker
