More From Edward Kennedy

Many great persons have been of opinion that love is no other thing than complacency itself, in which they have had much appearance of reason. for not only does the movement of love take its origin from the complacency which the heart feels at the first approach of good, and find its end in a second complacency which returns to the heart by union with the thing beloved--but further, it depends for its preservation on this complacency, and can only subsist through it as through its mother and nurse; so that as soon as the complacency ceases, love ceases.

The message of the united states is not nuclear power. the message of the united states is a spiritual message. it is the message of human ideals; it is the message of human dignity; it is the message of the freedom of ideas, speech, press, the right to assemble, to worship, and the message of freedom of movement of people.

I think uncertainty is good for things. certainty breeds complacency and complacency means that you just sit somewhere in your nice little comfortable suburban house in michigan, looking at cnn and saying, "oh, those poor immigrant children that are all coming across the border. but we really can't have them here - that isn't what god wants. let's send them all back to the drug cartels." there's a complacency to it.
Children Nice Mean
We said that a single injustice, a single crime, a single illegality, particularly if it is officially recorded, confirmed, a single wrong to humanity, a single wrong to justice and to right, particularly if it is universally, legally, nationally, commodiously accepted, that a single crime shatters and is sufficient to shatter the whole social pact, the whole social contract, that a single legal crime, a single dishonorable act will bring about the loss of ones honor, the dishonor of a whole people. it is a touch of gangrene that corrupts the entire body.
