More quotes by Edmund Muskie
In the heat of our campaigns, we have all become accustomed to a little anger and exaggeration. Yet, on the whole, our political process has served us well.
Edmund Muskie
In Maine we have a saying that there's no point in speaking unless you can improve on silence.
Edmund Muskie
Can we afford clean water? Can we afford rivers and lakes and streams and oceans which continue to make possible life on this planet? Can we afford life itself? Those questions were never asked as we destroyed the waters of our nation, and they deserve no answers as we finally move to restore and renew them. These questions answer themselves.
Edmund Muskie
