Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, for everything there is a season and a time for every activity under heaven; a time to be born and a time to die; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance; a time to embrace and a time to refrain; a time to be silent and a time to speak; a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace. After the atrocities of yesterday, we, the American people, asked the question: What time is it? This is a time for prayer. This is a time to mourn the loss of life. This is a time to weep because crying eases the pain. This is a time to appreciate and honor those countless, nameless men and women, firefighters, rescue workers, volunteers and others who have risked and lost their lives trying to help their fellow Americans. This is time to embrace one another and to express our feelings of love. This is a time to mend broken hearts of the people of our Nation who have experienced the loss of a family member. This is a time to speak of the strength of our Nation and to let the world know that we resolve that to never allow any terrorists to think for one moment that they can, by their conduct, permanently disrupt our democracy. This is a time to ferret out the persons who have committed these acts of terrorism and to hold them accountable. In time we will emerge from this stronger, wiser and more compassionate.”
