5 Iconic Quotes That Will Forever Be Remembered From Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

News broke that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has sadly passed away. Here are five of her most iconic quotes that will live on forever!

1) "It is not women's liberation, it is women's and men's liberation."

Freedom for women is freedom for everyone. Throughout her career, she was a pioneer for gender equality. She paved the way for women in not only legal sectors, but for all industries. She faced adversity on her rise to the Supreme Court but did not let that stop her.

2) "So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow."

In the Supreme Court, when a decision is not unanimous, the Justices that disagree write a dissent, or an explanation on why they did not agree with the majority decision. I think that this quote is very important because part of progress is not giving up when you face adversity, but having the courage to disagree and hope that change will come.

3) "Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one's ability to persuade."

This quote from her doesn't only apply to the Supreme Court or a life in politics. When faced with any challenge, especially with another person, we need to stay focused on the task at hand. Keeping a level mind will help us accomplish anything we put our minds to. Knowing and understanding this concept will help anyone, male or female, get far in life and help others as well.

4) "There's nothing in the Constitution that says the President stops being President in his last year."

Currently, with elections coming up, many people know that the decisions that the President makes now, will directly impact his chances in the election. Justice Ginsburg, agreed that just because the election is coming up, does not mean that the President has free reign to make decisions solely for the purpose of re-election. It is important for us to understand that, especially going into the election season.

5) "All I can say is I am sensitive to discrimination on any basis because I have experienced that upset."

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a pioneer in women's rights and liberal views on the Supreme Court. She has touched many of our lives, whether we know it or not. Her drive and passion for social justice and equality is motivation for younger generations to follow in her footsteps.

Rest in Power, Ruth Bader Ginsburg (March 15, 1933 - September 18, 2020)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
