Political Quotes

On the recordJune 6, 1996
Tomorrow night we will bid our formal good-byes, farewells, but you will come back to the pages who have served us so well in the 104th Congress. The pages really see Government like no one else sees government. As a matter of fact, they see through eyes that I have not seen. They have seen Congress at its best and its not so best at times. Albert Einstein once said that 100 times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend upon the lives of others, living and dead, and that I must exert so I may give in the same proportion as I have received. You really have received a great deal and you have given a great deal here in the floor of the House. But I also ask you when you go back home to give and share that experience which you have had here in the House of Representatives.
