“She is in a tough spot. On the one hand, she is a very hard-working, conscientious public servant. She is going to want to pitch in if needed. On the other hand, she seems to sincerely want to spend more time with her ailing husband, and I don't think she is interested in sitting in October and November, only to be replaced and have no vote in the cases she sat on.”
David Franklin
“The ability to change the world lies not in one’s wealth, but in one’s heart.”
Bertrand Victor
“The first lady is, and always has been, an unpaid public servant elected by one person, her husband.”
Claudia Lady Bird Johnson
“The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."”
Theodore Roosevelt
“I am not a perfect servant. I am a public servant doing my best against the odds. As I develop and serve, be patient. God is not finished with me yet.”
Jesse Jackson
“One of the most considerable advantages the great have over their inferiors is to have servants as good as themselves”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
“If there is anything that a public servant hates to do it's something for the public”
Kin Hubbard
