Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If you just needed the skills to pass the bar, two years would be enough. But if you think of law as a learned profession, then a third year is an opportunity for, on the one hand, public service and practice experience, but on the other, also to take courses that round out the law that you didn't have time to do.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The worst times were the years I was alone. The image to the public entering the courtroom was eight men, of a certain size, and then this little woman sitting to the side. That was not a good image for the public to see.

Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
It's not simply to say, 'My colleagues are wrong, and I would do it this way,' but the greatest dissents do become court opinions.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
We will never see a day when women of means are not able to get a safe abortion in this country.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
One aspect of appellate judging is we have to give reasons for all of our decisions. And when you sit down and try to write it out, sometimes you find that your first judgment wasn't the right one.

Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The entering class I joined in 1956 included just nine women, up from five in the then second-year class, and only one African American. All professors, in those now-ancient days, were of the same race and sex.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Ever since my colorectal cancer in 1999, I have been followed by the N.I.H. That was very lucky for me because they detected my pancreatic cancer at a very early stage.

My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one's ability to persuade.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
You can't have it all, all at once. Who - man or woman - has it all, all at once? Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If you're going to change things, you have to be with the people who hold the levers.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
A gender line... helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
We have the oldest written constitution still in force in the world, and it starts out with three words, 'We, the people.'
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady and the other was to be independent, and the law was something most unusual for those times because for most girls growing up in the '40s, the most important degree was not your B.A. but your M.R.S.

Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The emphasis must be not on the right to abortion but on the right to privacy and reproductive control.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Marty was an extraordinary person. Of all the boys I had dated, he was the only one who really cared that I had a brain. And he was always - well, making me feel that I was better than I thought I was.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
America is known as a country that welcomes people to its shores. All kinds of people. The image of the Statue of Liberty with Emma Lazarus' famous poem. She lifts her lamp and welcomes people to the golden shore, where they will not experience prejudice because of the color of their skin, the religious faith that they follow.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
All respect for the office of the presidency aside, I assumed that the obvious and unadulterated decline of freedom and constitutional sovereignty, not to mention the efforts to curb the power of judicial review, spoke for itself.
