Quotes

Do not let arguments of expediency persuade you. That is the slow road to oblivion. That is the tortured path to undoing step by step, bit by bit, as the river creates a canyon, the way of life that we love. Charles Schumer
My father, Abe, was a small businessman. For 32 years, he ran an exterminating company. That may explain why our family always associated the smell of roach spray with love. Charles Schumer
We certainly want those at the top to do well, but if you base your entire presidency and your entire economic platform on helping them do even better, you're missing what makes the economy tick. Because not everyone has been as fortunate as Mitt Romney, you cannot base your whole approach on a life experience as rarified as his. Charles Schumer
Barack Obama knows that to create an economy built to last, we need to focus on middle-class families. Families who stay up on Sunday nights pacing the floor, like my dad did, while their children, tucked in bed, dream big dreams. Families who aren't sure what Monday morning will bring, but who believe our nation's best days are still ahead. Charles Schumer
Charles Schumer quote: "Giving up even an ounce of precious freedom is a very serious..."
Giving up even an ounce of precious freedom is a very serious thing to do. Charles Schumer
Today, families like the one I grew up in still believe in that American dream. But as President Obama says, it's a make-or-break moment for the middle class. Mitt Romney's plans would make things worse. Charles Schumer
Charles Schumer quote: "I want to attract the best people into teaching."
I want to attract the best people into teaching. Charles Schumer
If we are going to stay a great power and I hope and pray we will we need the truth. We need to know what is going right and we need to know what is going wrong. There is no greater time than now. Charles Schumer
Charles Schumer quote: "When one has success, the answer is not to undo that success...."
When one has success, the answer is not to undo that success. It is to continue what has been done. Charles Schumer
I made education the highest priority of my campaign - actually education and jobs - and the reason is a simple one: I think the future of America depends on it. Charles Schumer
I believe the war on terror is the vital discussion of this decade and of our generation, probably. To win the war on terror, you need a good offense and a good defense. On defense, I regret to say, basically, this administration has not come close to doing what is necessary. Charles Schumer
Charles Schumer quote: "So I want my kids to go to public schools because I think it's..."
So I want my kids to go to public schools because I think it's a better education overall. Charles Schumer
I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it. Charles Schumer
Voters did say 'repeal health care,' they did say 'reduce the size of government.' But not a single one of them from the tea party or anywhere said 'give tax breaks to the wealthiest.' Charles Schumer
We are on the precipice of a crisis, a Constitutional crisis. The checks and balances, which have been at the core of this Republic, are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option. The checks and balances that say if you get 51% of the vote, you don't get your way 100% of the time. It is amazing, it's almost a temper tantrum. Charles Schumer
