Cory Booker Quotations | Page 2

You can't have a physical transformation until you have a spiritual transformation.

This is our history - from the Transcontinental Railroad to the Hoover Dam, to the dredging of our ports and building of our most historic bridges - our American ancestors prioritized growth and investment in our nation's infrastructure.

You have to understand the Newark Riots - a lot of people understand that the pain was the initial explosion of anger and alienation, but after that, the response, sending the National Guard troops - a lot of violence was carried out and perpetrated by those who were allegedly coming here to protect residents.

I'm going to have setbacks and failures; I'm not going to see change right away all of the time or most of the time. But everybody I've ever respected has failed at one thing or another. I've definitely fallen on my face. But I've also had a comparatively easy life.

Cynicism cripples our imagination and limits our ability to see faint possibilities amidst glaring problems.

Remember that the biggest thing you could do today is a small act of kindness.

You should be able to afford health care for your family. You should be able to retire with dignity and respect. And you should be able to give your children the kind of education that allows them to dream even bigger, go even farther and accomplish even more than you could ever imagine.

I still have that new senator smell.

You cant have a physical transformation until you have a spiritual transformation.

In America we have a Declaration of Independence, but our history, our advancements, our global strength all point to an American declaration of interdependence.
