Political Quotes

“during this month of men's health, it almost sounds silly to say month of men's health. Men's health cannot be confined to 30 days in June. Men's health is every day. Paying attention to the warning signs is every day. We must recognize the importance of taking care of ourselves, having regular checkups, eating right, and dieting. We must realize the importance of exercising and taking care of our mental health, particularly in the stressful jobs that we are fortunate to have in this very body. We deal with the complexities of legislation that often cause us sometimes to raise our voice, sometimes get emotional, sometimes take it home with us in the sense of wanting to do more but being hamstrung sometimes by the very politics that built this body. It is our mental health, and our physical health all tied together that is so important. There are so many of these factors that cause cancer and that cause dreaded diseases because we don't care for ourselves. During the month of June, let us highlight men's health, but let us talk about men's health 365 days a year. Let us bring resources to bear to make sure that we are preventive, that we are careful, that we are taking care of ourselves, and that we are looking out for each other. Our mental, our physical, and our emotional health are critically important to our success as leaders.”
