More quotes by Edward Kennedy
I favor access to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Edward Kennedy
The Constitution does not just protect those whose views we share it also protects those with whose views we disagree.
Edward Kennedy
We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.
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
[W]ords are fine, but it has to be what a generation reads into those words.
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
People of faith should not invoke the power of the state to decide what everyone can believe or think or read or do. In such cases, like abortion or prayer or prohibition or sexual identity, the proper role of religion is to appeal to the free conscience of each person, not the coercive rule of secular law.
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
Shamefully we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management.
Edward Kennedy
If you persevere, stick with it, wok at it, you have a real opportunity to achieve. If you do your best and keep a true compass, you'll get there.
Edward Kennedy
In an era when too many Americans are losing their jobs or working for less, trying to make ends meet, in close cases Judge [Samuel] Alito has ruled the vast majority of the time against the claims of the individual citizens. He has acted instead in favor of government, large corporations and other powerful interests.
Edward Kennedy
Frankly, I don't mind not being President. I just mind that someone else is.
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
She's a wonderful, wonderful person, and we're looking to a happy and wonderful night - ah, life.
Edward Kennedy
One question we must consider today is how we can take action to unify our nation, heal racial division, end poverty and give real-life meaning to the constitutional mandate that there be equal protection under law.
Edward Kennedy
As Justice Sandra Day O'Connor stated, even a state of war is not a blank check for a president to do whatever he wants.
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
It's better to send in the Peace Corps than the Marine Corps.
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.
Edward Kennedy
For me, a few hours ago, this campaign came to an end. For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die.
Edward Kennedy
