Political Quotes

“You can see how we love you. I was thinking that this is really like a graduation; it really is, for you. You have had a year here. And it is really like a commencement, because now you are beginning another stage of your lives. It has just been a wonderful opportunity for us to have you, to know that you could tell us who was speaking at any one time. I think your identification was superb. You could say this is so and so from this district, number such and such, Democrat or Republican. So we actually relied on you for that. We relied on you to get us the Congressional Record when we wanted it. We relied on you to make sure that you delivered whatever messages needed to be delivered. We relied on you to prepare the House for joint sessions and to prepare the House each day for the work that we did. And you have done it all so well. I am sure that you have been awestruck every time you entered this Chamber on both sides and you looked up at the flag and you looked up at the motto, 'In God We Trust,' and you know that people all over the world are watching what happens here in this particular Chamber. It is indeed the people's House.”
