John Edwards

Faith is not a political strategy and should not be a political strategy. If it is being used as a tool to garner votes, to convince people they should support one political party or the other, I think that is a huge mistake.

I believe that presidential candidates actually have a responsibility to point out substantive differences: to point out perspectives that are different.

I went from being a senator, a young senator, to being considered for vice president, running for president, being a vice presidential candidate, and becoming a national public figure. All of which fed a self-focus, an egotism, a narcissism that leads you to believe that you can do whatever you want.

I'm their sole parent, and there is nothing more important than being the best father I can be.

I'm in love with one woman. I've been in love with one woman for 31 years. She is the finest human being I have ever known.

I am Quinn's father. I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves.

I want to be a champion for the people I have fought for all my life - regular people.

There's no question that I've done wrong. I take full responsibility for having done wrong. I will regret for the rest of my life the pain and the harm that I've caused to others. But I did not break the law.

The facts are the vice president's company that he was CEO of, that did business with sworn enemies of the United States, paid millions of dollars in fines for providing false financial information, it's under investigation for bribing foreign officials.

I'm not sure I had a political career for the future anyway. I'm not sure that politics was what I wanted to spend my life doing.

America's families will be safer in a world where we're strong, where we're engaged, but where we're respected.

In America we believe that every child, no matter where they live, who their family is, or what the color of their skin, is entitled to as good an education as the richest parent in America can give to their children.
