Political Quotes

“I remember a few years ago I got a call from a fellow who said to me that Vice President Al Gore was coming to town and did I want to meet with him. I said, well, I would not mind. He says, do you know who this is? I said, well, no, I really do not. He said, this is Courtney Miller, your little brother, and of course, Courtney had grown up and at that particular time was working for the Vice President of the United States. I also served for about 12 years as the commissioner of Boy Scouts in my community, and just day before yesterday I was at a Martin Luther King celebration, and there was a young fellow there who had become a minister, Jonathan Carter. As Jonathan participated in the services, he says, well, you know, I used to be a Boy Scout when you were the scouting commissioner and I have now become what I am. He said, I remember you coming to our Eagle Scout celebration and talking about how great it was. So my point is that oftentimes those who serve as mentors will get as much from the relationship as the young people that they associate themselves with.”
