Quotes by Edward M. Kennedy  (?)

“This is the greatest lesson a child can learn. It is the greatest lesson anyone can learn. It has been the greatest lesson I have learned: if you persevere, stick w/it, work @ it, you have a real opportunity to achieve something. Sure, there will be storms along the way. And you might not reach your goal right away. But if you do your best and keep a true compass, you'll get there.”
Edward M. Kennedy, True Compass: A Memoir

“Integrity is the lifeblood of democracy.
Deceit is a poison in its veins.”
Edward M. Kennedy

“For all those whose cares
have been our concern,
the work goes on,
the cause endures,
the hope still lives,
and the dream shall never die.”
Ted Kennedy
