Political Quotes

“each year we celebrate in the Nation's Capital a National Prayer Breakfast. It was my privilege to attend today, the 44th consecutive gathering. The President of the United States and the First Lady, together with the Vice President and his wife are, as they were today, regular attendees. Leaders from many countries, leaders from every State join with members of the judiciary, executive, and legislative branches of our government. It is invariably an inspirational, memorable event. As is customary, Members of Congress preside and today Senator Robert Bennett, Utah, whose father likewise was a distinguished U.S. Senator, contributed masterfully as a master of ceremonies. Senators and House Members share in the program. Strong messages were given by all, especially President Clinton and Vice President Gore. The Senate participants were Senator Carol Moseley-Braun, Illinois, who read beautifully from the scriptures and Senator Alan Simpson who spoke with deep sincerity and humility. But the most memorable contribution of all was from the principal speaker, Senator Sam Nunn, Georgia. The audience, at the breakfast and watching television, all across America, were given a stirring, uplifting message. Remarks that are deserving to be recorded for present and future generations the world over.”
