More quotes by Joe Biden
I did not grope the wife of Defense Secretary Ashton Carter or the daughter of Sen. Christopher Coons. I don't put drugs in drinks or give drinks to underage females. And all those photos about me inappropriately touching girls, they are blown-up.
Joe Biden
A lot of people criticized me for speaking out, not long ago, about gay marriage. I could not remain silent any longer. It's the civil rights of our day. It's the issue of our day.
Joe Biden
I think after Sam Nunn left, I'm the last guy in the Senate who got a majority white male vote in their state.
Joe Biden
We misread the Fifth Amendment [of Constitution] and have been misreading it for the past three decades.
Joe Biden
The fundamental disagreement most Republicans have is they don't think health care is a right. They think it is a privilege, not a right.
Joe Biden
I kept trying to tell people that just because I was young didn't mean I could speak for all young people.
Joe Biden
I am not a theologian, nor am I a priest or a minister, but I think building walls is fundamentally contrary to what made this country what it is. We're a pluralistic society in its functions.
Joe Biden
There's less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you're dealing with.
Joe Biden
I was in sit-ins to desegregate restaurants and movie houses in the '60s.
Joe Biden
You cannot give the vice president the authority to declassify specific information and then turn around and say he can just give carte blanche to an assistant of his to declassify whatever he wants.
Joe Biden
You know we're going to control the insurance companies.
Joe Biden
The truth is I don't regret it. It was the right decision [not run for president] for my family, and the right decision for me.
Joe Biden
We must rekindle the fire of idealism in our society, for nothing suffocates the promise of America more than unbounded cynicism and indifference.
Joe Biden
I am a Catholic. I can't say that without pointing out that I oppose abortion with all my heart and soul. Bill Clinton wanted them safe and rare. Barack Obama is heartsick that so many people he knows have had abortions. But we're all pro-choice and believe in reproductive freedom and oppose the Republicans' War on Women.
Joe Biden
Al Qaeda is almost all in Pakistan, and Pakistan has nuclear weapons. And yet for every dollar we're spending in Pakistan, we're spending $30 in Afghanistan. Does that make strategic sense?
Joe Biden
I still care deeply about so many thing. And so I'm going to be engaged. I'm going to be out there as - with a platform to talk about the things that I care about: foreign policy and, you know, violence against women, you know, the inequity in the tax structure.
Joe Biden
My own father had always said the measure of a man wasn't how many times or how hard he got knocked down, but how fast he got back up. I made a pledge to myself that I would get up and emerge from this debacle better for having gone through it. I would live up to the expectation I had for myself. I would be the kind of man I wanted to be.
Joe Biden
Banning guns is an idea whose time has come.
Joe Biden
There's a false choice being put forward by some Democrats now. Either we double-down on our progressive values, or we go out there and talk about the middle class and the working class. I've never found them inconsistent. They go together.
Joe Biden
I do not believe that we have a right to tell other people, women, that they can't control their bodies.
Joe Biden
