Text Quotes
I’ve learned from being in the woods that titles don’t mean much and that actions speak a lot louder than words - even in Congress. I always look for the people who want to act - people who want to run the river or climb the mountain - even if they’re not members of my political party  (Mark Udall Quotes) The new Congress needs to move quickly to strengthen the Army and Marines - not to send more troops to Iraq - but to rebuild our capacity to meet national security threats globally.  (Mark Udall Quotes) Our livelihood is intimately tied to the food we eat, water we drink and places where we recreate. That’s why we have to promote responsibility and conservation when it comes to our natural resources.  (Mark Udall Quotes) I believe climate change is real - and I believe we have to act to protect the climate as fast as we possibly can.  (Mark Udall Quotes) It’s the uncertainty, the challenge and the willingness to put it all on the line that draws a lot of people to climb mountains. That can also apply to a lot of other challenges in life, whether it’s running for office, starting a family, going to grad school or taking all of your cash and assets and starting a business.  (Mark Udall Quotes) I’ve come to the conclusion that military style weapons really don’t have any place in our society. We ought to reinstate the assault weapons ban that served us well for 10 years from 1994 to 2004.  (Mark Udall Quotes) We all recognize that Colorado and our nation have a long and storied tradition of gun ownership for hunting, outdoor recreation and self-defense. However, I am not convinced that combat weapons are necessarily part of that heritage  (Mark Udall Quotes) Throughout my years of public service, I’ve listened to the voices of the gay and lesbian community, whether through whispered confidences or public declarations. I understand what it truly means to say that all people should be treated equally, and I’ll always stand up for fair and equal treatment of gay and lesbian Americans  (Mark Udall Quotes) Some of the best times I’ve spent in Colorado have been in the backcountry with my mom and siblings, and more recently, with my own kids. That is why I’m concerned to see today’s kids spending more time browsing the Internet than exploring nature  (Mark Udall Quotes) I brag on the Democratic Party. We’re libertarian on social issues, it’s live and let live. Fiscally, we’re conservative and responsible, and were environmentally conscious  (Mark Udall Quotes) As the nation watches, Democrats and Republicans should reflect the interspersed character of America itself. Perhaps, by sitting with each other for one night, we will begin to rekindle that common spark that brought us here from 50 different states and widely diverging backgrounds to serve the public good  (Mark Udall Quotes) I support allowing gay couples to marry because of - not in spite of - my values. And many of those values are the same ones deeply held by those who do not believe in gay marriage  (Mark Udall Quotes) We really don’t have a policy [on climate change]. There’s a lot of rhetoric and not a lot of action  (Mark Udall Quotes) Climbing has worked for me in a number of ways on Capitol Hill. I’m much more inclined to look at what people do, as opposed to what they say. Also, it’s about working together - we’re all on the rope together, and you don’t get to cut the rope if you’re not getting along with someone  (Mark Udall Quotes) Reform is not for the short-winded. I’m committed to making sure the Senate is more than just a graveyard for good ideas  (Mark Udall Quotes) You don’t climb mountains without a team, you don’t climb mountains without being fit, you don’t climb mountains without being prepared and you don’t climb mountains without balancing the risks and rewards. And you never climb a mountain on accident - it has to be intentional  (Mark Udall Quotes) President Ford was a devoted, decent man of impeccable integrity who put service to his country before his own self interest. He helped heal our nation during a time of crisis, provided steady leadership and restored people’s faith in the presidency and in government  (Mark Udall Quotes) It’s tough to know the value of water until it’s gone  (Mark Udall Quotes) The balance between freedom and security is a delicate one  (Mark Udall Quotes) Any doctor will admit that any drug can have side effects, and that writing a prescription involves weighing the potential benefits against the risks  (Mark Udall Quotes) I’ve come to the conclusion that military style weapons really don’t have any place in our society. We ought to reinstate the assault weapons ban that served us well for 10 years from 1994 to 2004  (Mark Udall Quotes) Truth be told, I’m much more comfortable in a pair of hiking boots or with a rack of climbing gear than in front of a laptop  (Mark Udall Quotes) Our livelihood is intimately tied to the food we eat, water we drink and places where we recreate. That’s why we have to promote responsibility and conservation when it comes to our natural resources  (Mark Udall Quotes) It’s the uncertainty, the challenge and the willingness to put it all on the line that draws a lot of people to climb mountains. That can also apply to a lot of other challenges in life, whether it’s running for office, starting a family, going to grad school or taking all of your cash and assets and starting a business  (Mark Udall Quotes) Political differences will always generate a healthy debate, but over time the dialogue has become more hateful and at times violent  (Mark Udall Quotes) Stem cells have the potential to be used to treat and better understand some of the world’s most deadly and disabling diseases  (Mark Udall Quotes) Ranchers need clean water for their stock, farmers need it for their crops, every employer needs it to stay in business, and every living thing needs it for life... The law needs to be clear to protect water quality and the rights of landowners  (Mark Udall Quotes) On the mountains mistakes are fatal. In politics, mistakes are wounding emotionally, but you recover. Personally, wilderness helps me get back in touch with natural rhythms, helps me reflect and, in the process, restore my creativity  (Mark Udall Quotes) I haven’t inherited the earth from my parents, I am borrowing it from my children  (Mark Udall Quotes)
