More quotes by 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
Don't listen to the cynics. They were wrong about my generation and they were wrong about yours.
Joe Biden
Obama and Biden want to raise taxes by a trillion dollars. Guess what? Yes, we do in one regard. We want to let that trillion dollar tax cut expire so the middle class doesn't have to bear the burden of all that money going to the super-wealthy. That's not a tax raise. That's called fairness where I come from.
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
Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.
Joe Biden
Think about the decade after Iraq, not just the day after.

Joe Biden
You turn on the television, it's like, Woah is me! God almighty, we're awful. We are so down and out we are - name me a country in the world, name me one leader anywhere in the world who wouldn't trade places in a heartbeat. We by far, we're going to own the 21st century.
Joe Biden
A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!
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
Hilary Clinton might have been a better pick than me.
Joe Biden
I am very optimistic about - about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government.
Joe Biden
I've been saying for the last nine years, our power comes as much from - our respect in the world comes as much from the exercise of our power as it does from the power of our principles.
Joe Biden
When you question a man's motives, when you say they are acting out of greed, they are in the pocket of an interest group, et cetera. It's awful hard to reach consensus. It's awful hard to reach across the table and shake hands. No matter how bitterly you disagree, though, it is always possible if you question judgment and not motive.
Joe Biden
People are suspect because they believe your ideology blinds you to equal application of the law, and the facts.
Joe Biden
I know I'm not supposed to like muscle cars, but I like muscle cars.
Joe Biden
We must rekindle the fire of idealism in our society.
Joe Biden
The idea that you know more than the intelligence community knows, it's a little like saying, I know more about physics than my professor.
Joe Biden
To me this is the first principle of life, the foundational principle, and a lesson you can't learn at the feet of any wise man: Get up! The art of living is simply getting up after you've been knocked down.
Joe Biden
