Edward Kennedy

Edward Kennedy
I believe that religious witness should not mobilize public authority to impose a view where a decision is inherently private in nature or where people are deeply divided about whether it is...

Edward Kennedy
I think a child calling for his mother is the most beautiful sound in the world.
Edward Kennedy
I hope for an America where neither fundamentalist nor humanist will be a dirty word, but a fair description of the different ways in which people of good will look at life and into their own souls.
Edward Kennedy
