More quotes by Edward Kennedy

Edward Kennedy
It's better to send in the Peace Corps than the Marine Corps.
Edward Kennedy

Edward Kennedy
If we set the precedent of limiting the First Amendment, in order to protect the sensibilities of those who are offended by flag burning, what will we say the next time someone is offended by some other minority view, or by some other person's exercise of the freedom the Constitution is supposed to protect?
Edward Kennedy
She's a wonderful, wonderful person, and we're looking to a happy and wonderful night - ah, life.
Edward Kennedy
There is no safety in hiding. Like my brothers before me, I pick up a fallen standard. Sustained by the memory of our priceless years together, I shall try to carry forward that special commitment to justice, excellence and courage that distinguished their lives.
Edward Kennedy
If confirmed, Judge [Samuel] Alito could serve on the court for generation or more. And the decisions he will make as justice will have a direct impact on the lives and liberties of our children, our grandchildren, and even our great-grandchildren.
Edward Kennedy
Floating screw - that's what people used to call me.
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
Shamefully we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management.
Edward Kennedy
What we have in the United States is not so much a health-care system as a disease-care system.
Edward Kennedy
The demand of our people in 1980 is not for smaller government or bigger government but for better government.
