Zitat des Tages von Edward Brooke:
When most presidents get in, they move to the center because they realize that this is a centrist country - even Reagan.
When I arrived in the Senate, the moderate so-called Rockefeller Republicans held the balance of power.
My fervent expectation is that sooner rather than later, the United States Senate will more closely reflect the rich diversity of this great country.
I've never tried to run away from my race. I was born a black man. You know that in your bones as soon as you are able to understand this country... My approach to life about race is, I don't see the difference between black people and white people.
My campaign confirmed my belief that although there are bigots in America, whose hateful rhetoric seizes the media's attention, the vast majority of people do not harbor such prejudice.
Intemperance and intolerance serve no one, and hatred guarantees failure.
I grew up segregated, but there was not much feeling of being shut out of anything.
I can't serve just the Negro cause. I've got to serve all the people of Massachusetts.
I was entirely comfortable reaching across the Senate aisle to work with Democrats.
