Political Quotes

“This week, our country lost a great American, and I stand here today to remember a giant: General Colin Powell. He was a statesman who loved his country fiercely. He was a trailblazer who served with love, integrity, and pride. He helped shape American foreign and military policy for years. He believed public service was the most important job in the world. His leadership, full of honesty and listening, inspired generations. He treated every person with dignity and respect. Until his dying day, he opposed the fear and the hatred dividing this country. He believed in America's promise, and he left that as his legacy. He stood on principle and believed in the good of life. Today, we remember his steadfast leadership, his commitment to family, and his strong enduring presence. Please join me in sending love and prayers to Alma and the Powell family in the difficult times ahead. I close with some of the General's own wisdom: ``The ties that bind us together are far stronger than the occasional stresses that separate us.'' ____________________”
