More quotes by Elizabeth Edwards
Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that's good.
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
You know, I once read a short story about how much you could tell about people from their shoes. You could tell where they had been, what they did, whether they were real walkers.
Elizabeth Edwards
But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.
Elizabeth Edwards
My job is to stay alive until the medicine and research catch up.
Elizabeth Edwards
A positive attitude is not going to save you. What it's going to do is, everyday, between now and the day you die, whether that's a short time from now or a long time from now, that every day, you're going to actually live.
Elizabeth Edwards
I don't know why someone else's marriage has anything to do with me.
Elizabeth Edwards
Cancer is not a straight line. It's up and down.
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
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
In a sense, having cancer takes you by the shoulders and shakes you.
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
Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before.
Elizabeth Edwards
We were never a family that had a lot. We had enough, but not a lot.
Elizabeth Edwards
I want to reclaim who I am.
Elizabeth Edwards
She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails.
Elizabeth Edwards
My heart goes out to the grieving parents who lost their two-year-old or their newborn.
Elizabeth Edwards
I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage.
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.
Elizabeth Edwards
I do know that when my children are older and telling their own children about their grandmother, they will be able to say that she stood in the storm...and when the wind did not blow her way - - and it surely has not - - she adjusted her sails.
