More quotes by Elizabeth Edwards
It's just a part of our nature to hope.
Elizabeth Edwards
At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by the highest public office we attained in our lifetime, if that were true the current president (George W.

Elizabeth Edwards
We were never a family that had a lot. We had enough, but not a lot.
Elizabeth Edwards
Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before.
Elizabeth Edwards
If I had lost a leg, I would tell them, instead of a boy, no one would ever ask me if I was 'over it'. They would ask me how I was doing learning to walk without my leg. I was learning to walk and to breathe and to live without Wade. And what I was learning is that it was never going to be the life I had before.
Elizabeth Edwards
I could be wrong, but I think heterosexual marriage is threatened more by heterosexuals. I don't know why gay marriage challenges my marriage in any way.
