“ No man chooses his own parents. But in the last analysis, a man's ultimate worth is, in the modern world, determined by his accomplishments and his service in the cause of his nation and his countrymen.

“ It is a great responsibility to be elected to legislate upon matters that are the anchor of personal liberty, security, social responsibility - in general of a framework of organized and ordered social order. ”
