Joe Biden Quotes
I was not an activist.
I have come to believe that the first duty of a public servant is to help bring people together, especially in crisis, especially across difficult divides, to show respect for everybody at the table, and to help find a safe way forward.
Funerals are for the living, I have always believed, and the job of the eulogist is to acknowledge the enormity of the loss they have just suffered and to help them appreciate that the legacy and accomplishments of their loved one have not died with them.
They (police officers) need to be reminded that their service was worthy of our honor and respect.
What does it really cost to take a moment to look someone in the eye, to give him a hug, to let her know, I get it. You’re not alone.
Except for the title ‘father,’ there is no title, including ‘vice president,’ that I am more proud to wear than that of United States senator.
The voting public was tired of careful and carefully packaged candidates. My reputation as a ‘gaffe machine’ was no longer looking like a weakness.
When the middle class does well, everybody does well.
I didn’t see why people who invested for a living were being treated better than people who worked for a living.
Authenticity mattered more and more to voters.
So how do I want to spend the rest of my life? I want to spend as much time as I can with my family, and I want to help change the country and the world for the better.
Life is a matter of really tough choices.
You’ve got to reach a hand of friendship across the aisle and across philosophies in this country.
Failure at some point in your life is inevitable, but giving up is unforgivable.
No one ever doubts that I mean what I say. The problem is I sometimes say all that I mean.
One of the things I’ve never been accused of is not caring about people.
Well, I thought the deal was, when you went to work for the government you weren’t supposed to make money!
