Elizabeth Edwards Thinking Quotations

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.

One of the things that I think you see sometimes in politics is a certain degree of caution. It's usually advised by consultants who don't want to see you march to the end of a limb.

The worst thing to me would be that you put on the face you think people want to see, and then they don't like it and you think, Would they have liked the real me?

I think that we're foolhardy to not be engaging in federal funding of stem-cell research in the most aggressive way we possibly can.

I think being an effective First Lady is first of all being the partner that your husband needs.

I think I did marry a marvelous man.

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.

To be perfectly frank, there is an odd place after losing a child, where you think somehow your life is worth less.

If people think that you're throwing babies out, dissecting children, to do stem-cell research, I'm not for that.

I think that it is our intention to deny cancer any control over us.

I think self-knowledge is the rarest trait in a human being.

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.

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.
