"I want to be absolutely clear to all of you who have been devoted to this cause, and I want to be clear to the 99 percent of Americans who have not yet had the chance to have their voices heard, that ..."

"The goal is still in sight. And what is that goal? To make as our next president of the United States John Edwards."

"The only question is whether we have the backbone, and the will, and the determination to go there."

"It is not about me. It is about the cause of giving voice to all those whose voices are not being heard in this democracy."
