More quotes by Joe Biden
I believe at its core we have a Constitution, as our Supreme Court's first great justice, Marshall, said in 1819, and I quote, intended to endure for the ages to come and consequently to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.
Joe Biden
As a matter of fact, I didn't make a political speech outside of my state for 20 years.
Joe Biden
I think it is manmade. I think it's clearly manmade.
Joe Biden
We have to make sure that not only we [politicians] actually focus on, but the entire nation knows we're focusing on, growth and competition within the United States of America and compete internationally. I don't know anywhere where it's written that we have to be number two.
Joe Biden
The truth is, my dad was a great driver. I mean, he could handle an automobile. He loved speed. He used to joke that his one regret was he didn't join the volunteer fire service so he could drive the ambulance.

Joe Biden
Just talk to me as a father ... not what the Constitution says. What do you feel?
Joe Biden
I didn't make a political speech outside of my state for 20 years. And I just focused almost exclusively on my initiatives for national crime legislation, foreign policy issues.
Joe Biden
Almost every great innovation was [created] by government.
Joe Biden
We [US government] have no fundamental disagreement with the Saudis - I mean, excuse me, with the Iraqis any more than we do with the Arab League, which we happen to support the position they're taking.
Joe Biden
Make sure of two things. Be careful - microphones are always hot, and understand that in Washington, D.C., a gaffe is when you tell the truth. So, be careful.
Joe Biden
Resist the temptation to ascribe motive, because you really don't know - and it gets in the way of being able to reach a consensus on things that matter to you and to many other people.
Joe Biden
There's no reason the nation of Africa cannot and should not join the ranks of the world's most prosperous nations in the near term, in the decades ahead. There is simply no reason.
Joe Biden
When I said clean, I meant he [Barack Obama] was bright. Like when [Donald] Trump said about Carly [Fiorina], face he meant persona.
Joe Biden
Don't listen to the cynics. They were wrong about my generation and they were wrong about yours.
Joe Biden
