More quotes by 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
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.

My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.
Edward Kennedy
Floating screw - that's what people used to call me.
Edward Kennedy
That is a pretty big deal from a commitment standpoint.
Edward Kennedy
Immigrant families have integrated themselves into our communities, establishing deep roots. Whenever they have settled, they have made lasting contributions to the economic vitality and diversity of our communities and our nation. Our economy depends on these hard-working, taxpaying workers. They have assisted America in its economic boom.
Edward Kennedy
We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we made.
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

Edward Kennedy
Will a nominee embrace and uphold the essential meaning of the four words inscribed above the entrance of the Supreme Court building: Equal justice under law?
Edward Kennedy
What we have in the United States is not so much a health-care system as a disease-care system.
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
I have fallen short in my life, but my faith has always brought me home.
Edward Kennedy
I don't think America can just drill itself out of its current energy situation. We don't need to destroy the environment to meet our energy needs. We need smart, comprehensive, common-sense approaches that balance the need to increase domestic energy supplies with the need to maximize energy efficiency.
