More quotes by Edward Kennedy
We have to respect that any nominee to the Supreme Court would have to defer any comments on any matters which are either before the court or very likely to be before the court.
Edward Kennedy
I don't think you're going to be a success in anything if you think about losing, whether it's in sports or in politics.
Edward Kennedy
From the windows of my office in Boston ... I can see the Golden Stairs from Boston Harbor where all eight of my great-grandparents set foot on this great land for the first time. That immigrant spirit of limitless possibility animates America even today.
Edward Kennedy
That is a pretty big deal from a commitment standpoint.
Edward Kennedy
Individual faults and frailties are no excuse to give in - and no exemption from the common obligation to give of ourselves.
Edward Kennedy
We were taught never to give up, never to passively accept fate, but to exhaust every last ounce of will and hope in the face of any challenge.
Edward Kennedy
Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law? Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty?
Edward Kennedy
There was no imminent threat. This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud.
Edward Kennedy
The demand of our people in 1980 is not for smaller government or bigger government but for better government.
Edward Kennedy
The Supreme Court must serve as an independent check on abuses by the executive branch and the protector of our liberties, not a cheerleader for an imperial presidency.
Edward Kennedy
We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.
Edward Kennedy
The great adventures which our opponents offer is a voyage into the past. Progress is our heritage, not theirs. What is right for us as Democrats is also the right way for Democrats to win.
Edward Kennedy
A good marriage is loving someone in a lot of different circumstances. Respect for them and their views and ideas and the life that they're leading with you. Shared values and interests. A good sense of humour. And a little volatility along the way.
Edward Kennedy
What we have in the United States is not so much a health-care system as a disease-care system.
Edward Kennedy
In decision after decision on the bench, Judge [Samuel] Alito has excused abusive actions by the authorities that intrude on the personal privacy and freedoms of average Americans.
Edward Kennedy
[W]ords are fine, but it has to be what a generation reads into those words.
Edward Kennedy
If I can leave a single message with the younger generation, it is to lash yourself to the mast, like Ulysses if you must, to escape the siren calls of complacency and indifference.
Edward Kennedy
Floating screw - that's what people used to call me.
Edward Kennedy
I hope for an America where no president, no public official, no individual will ever be deemed a greater or lesser American because of religious doubt - or religious belief.
Edward Kennedy
Justice Lewis Powell spoke for all of us when he said: Equal justice under law is perhaps the most inspiring idea of our society. It is one of the ends for which our entire legal system exists.
