Quotes by Cory Booker

“We have to have a mayor and a council who will take City Hall and fight that fight.”

“I think with Sharpe James, anything was possible.”

“We will make a city hall that truly serves the people who live there.”

“I think that whatever administration that comes in must take a hard look at that project and make sure its the best deal for all of our residents.”

Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat other people; before you tell me how much you love your God, show me in how much you love all His children; before you preach to me of your passion for your faith, teach me about it through your compassion for your neighbors. In the end, I’m not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give.

In America, our differences matter, but our country matters more. Thats the attitude I wanted to take to the Senate.

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

Marriage equality is not a choice. It is a legal right.

My family is no different from yours. We may be different from the geography that we come from. Some of you all may pray differently than I do, some of you all may be from a different ethnicity, but we all have the same story.

I know Donald Trump. Ive met him I know his family. I have love and friendship and affection for his family members. But Im going to work very hard to ensure that he is not our president.

We have had in our nation a well-celebrated Declaration of Independence. But our success as a country will depend upon a new Declaration of Inter-dependence. A belief in how much we need each other, how much we share one common destiny.

Tolerance says I am just going to stomach your right to be different. That if you disappear from the face of the earth, I am no better or worse off. But love - love knows that every American has worth and value, no matter what their background, race, religion, or sexual orientation.

Equal protection under the law - for race, religion, gender or sexual orientation - should not be subject to the most popular sentiments of the day.

There is too much disagreement for disagreements sake. In a time of persistent challenges that still call into question our most sacred aspirations as a country, we cannot afford shallow callous divisiveness in our public debate.
