Political Quotes

“last week many Members took the floor to pay tribute to Representative Ron Dellums. My schedule was such that I did not get an opportunity to do so at that time but I decided that I would come on this day so as not to miss the opportunity. Mr. Speaker, to every man there is a way, a ways and a way, the high souls take the highway, and the low souls take the low. While on the misty flats all the rest drift to and fro. To every man there is a way, a ways and a way, and each man decideth each way his soul shall go. Such has been the life, career and work of the Representative Ron Dellums, who has served his family, community, country and, yes, the world with elegance and distinction. He has demonstrated courage and commitment and has been loyal to those causes which he deemed to be just. Ron has been an ambassador of democracy and a serious promoter of peace, recognizing and realizing the difficulty of its attainment. One of my colleagues recently said of Ron Dellums that he has made a difference. I agree with that assessment and go a step further. I say not only has Ron made a difference but he is different. Ron marches to the beat of a different drummer. He is a thoroughbred, a long-distance runner, tough and tenacious. He is certainly one of the best. He is in a class by himself.”
