Famous quotes by Robert Byrd:

"Mission accomplished? The mission in Iraq, as laid out by President Bush and Vice President Cheney, has failed."

"It is time to come home, America. Time to look within our own borders and within our own souls. There are many questions to be answered and many missions to accomplish right here on our own soil."

"This incredible American family will undoubtedly once again demonstrate to the nation that they will endure -- and that it is how one lives and not how one dies that ultimately matters."

"The money the president wants to borrow for Iraq will come directly out of the American taxpayer wallets in the form of Medicare and Social Security receipts that's your money."

"Once the action is taken by Congress to pass this tax cut, that money is going out. There is no guesswork to that."

"There's more to come. We've got to level with the American people."

"She's not a lightning rod. I was concerned that the president might send up someone who just automatically would bring about a filibuster, but he didn't do that."

"The questions continue to grow. The doubts are beginning to drown out the assurances. For every insistence from Washington that the weapons of mass destruction case against Iraq is sound comes a counterpoint from the field -- another dry hole, another dead end."

"We're seeing the legislative process go down in this Senate."

"As one who believes in the death penalty, as one who has seen a public execution ... I certainly do not take a back seat to anyone when it comes to supporting legitimate victims' rights. But I am not for this amendment to the Constitution of the United States."

"One's family is the most important thing in life. I look at it this way: One of these days I'll be over in a hospital somewhere with four walls around me. And the only people who'll be with me will be my family."

"That's what the Senate is about. It's the last bastion of minority rights, where a minority can be heard, where a minority can stand on its feet, one individual if necessary, and speak until he falls into the dust."

"Is it any wonder, why the approval ratings of the Congress go up every time we go into recess?"

"Our ideals of freedom, set forth and realized in our Constitution, are our greatest export to the world."

"It was the separation of powers upon which the framers placed their hopes for the preservation of the people's liberties. Despite this heritage, the congress has been in too many cases more than willing to walk away from its constitutional powers."

"It is money, money, money! Not ideas, not principles, but money that reigns supreme in American politics."

"To the American people I say, awaken to what is happening. It is the duty of each citizen to be vigilant, to protect liberty, to speak out, left and right and disagree lest be trampled underfoot by misguided zealotry and extreme partisanship."

"Hitler never abandoned the cloak of legality; he recognized the enormous psychological value of having the law on his side. Instead, he turned the law inside out and made illegality legal."

"The ongoing strife in Iraq, and the billions of dollars that the President is seeking to continue that war, give me little comfort that this Administration has learned from its mistakes in Iraq."
