Political Quotes

“I thank my friend from Texas for yielding. I am here tonight, as we all are, to celebrate the career, the legacy, and the friendship of Chairman Dr. Michael Burgess. We are going to miss you. It has been an honor to serve alongside you in two committees, the Rules Committee and the Budget Committee, and an honor to work with you on healthcare policies and any number of things. I have learned from you. I have probably made your life a little more interesting than you would prefer on the Rules Committee, but it has been an honor to serve alongside you. I truly mean that. There are a lot of words that are thrown around about people who have an impact on us when we are here, but I will always remember your grace in front of a number of circumstances, but particularly in the last couple of weeks. I will just say, as you said this last week: ``And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus,'' Philippians 4:7. Your faith stands as a testament to all of us. Godspeed. {time} 1915”
