Political Quotes

“I am happy and pleased that this Congress, and the American people should know that this Congress stands in unison, we stand together tonight, both Democrats and Republicans, blacks, whites, young, old, men and women. We will not tolerate the burning of any churches. We are going to appropriate the necessary resources to the agencies that are conducting investigations and we will find the perpetrators of these crimes and they will be brought to justice. I often talk about what we have in common. I will never forget when I graduated from high school my mother said, "What's the universal language?" I said, "It's English, Mom." And she said, "No, it's not." She said, "If you cry, can you cry in English?" I said, no. She said, "If you're in Spain can you cry in Spanish? If you're in France can you cry in French?" She said, "No, you cry in pain." There is a lot of crying taking place tonight. I do not care if you are black or white, young or old, male or female, we all cry the same. I would hope we would work together to end that cry.”
