More quotes by Elizabeth Edwards
I have a husband who adores me.
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. Bush) would hold as much esteem as Franklin Roosevelt in our country, and Nelson Mandela in his. That cannot be the case. Rather, we will each be judged by the mark we've left on others.

Part of resilience is deciding to make yourself miserable over something that matters, or deciding to make yourself miserable over something that doesn't matter.
Elizabeth Edwards
My job is to stay alive until the medicine and research catch up.
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.

The photograph contains and constrains within its own boundaries, excluding all else, a microcosmic analogue of the framing of space which is knowledge. As such it becomes a metaphor of power, having the ability to appropriate and decontextualize time and space and those who exist within it.

Leave me if you must, but be faithful to me if you are with me.

Elizabeth Edwards
I'm actually one of those people who get up energetic in the morning.
Elizabeth Edwards
I don't know why someone else's marriage has anything to do with me.
Elizabeth Edwards
If I say something that ends up on the front page of Drudge, I haven't done it right.
Elizabeth Edwards
I was an English major in college, and then I went to graduate school in English at the University of North Carolina for three years.
Elizabeth Edwards
I do think voters do take into consideration - particularly early state voters - take into consideration a wide range of factors, including electability, and they know that part of electability is the total package that you're presenting.
Elizabeth Edwards
If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died-you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died. What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift.
Elizabeth Edwards
I am imperfect in a million ways, but I always thought I was the kind of woman, the kind of wife to whom a husband would be faithful.
Elizabeth Edwards
I come out of real life.
Elizabeth Edwards
Those who need a champion cannot afford compromise, in the face of forces that are powerful, persistent and pernicious and greedy.
Elizabeth Edwards
It's more likely in America that your parents will file for bankruptcy than divorce. We think of divorce as so prevalent, but we all know that happens because somebody moves out of the house.
