Political Quotes

“from time to time in my daily life, I am privileged to encounter a man or woman who renders exceptional service in his or her work, who seems to have discovered in his or her work a special calling, who feels that no respectable job is demeaning and who believes that a big man can make a little job big, and who consistently leaves those to whom those services are rendered with the impression that such services were adorned with courtesy and performed with pleasure. Such a man is Mr. Eddie Walker. Who is Eddie Walker? You have all seen him. I am sure he has said hello to everyone here, whether or not they bother to respond by saying hello to him. He is the Lead Waiter with the U.S. Senate Restaurant's Banquet Department. Edward Steven Walker started working with the Senate Restaurant on October 26, 1971--nearly 23 years ago--at the age of 20. He has spent more than half of his life working here for Senators, for the families of Senators, for tourists, for the general public, and for all of the people who work with us and for the Senate. Eddie Walker seems to perform all of his assignments with a smile--something of a rarity in so many occupations nowadays. And he is always polite, and that is all too often a scarce commodity nowadays. His smile is one of those contagious expressions that makes its recipient feel better for having received it.”
