Often considered one of the greatest legislators that ever served our nation, Senator Henry Clay’s writings remind us that there is never an easy time to serve in office. Every age is filled with its debates and disagreements, different visions of how to go forward.
He advised that “All legislation, all government, all society is founded upon the principle of mutual concession, politeness, comity, courtesy, upon these everything is based...”
Our strength comes from the civil and open exchange of ideas, learning from one another, and finally, in finding common ground, and compromise.
May the Blessed God, the Creator of us all help us to find merit in each other’s ideas and beliefs, teach us to understand and respect each other’s perspectives, and enable us to come together for the greater good of our State. May this be God’s will. AMEN.
