I can assure you, public service is a stimulating, proud and lively enterprise. It is not just a way of life, it is a way to live fully.

My whole life has been dedicated to public service.

I have a lifelong devotion to public service.

I feel like I have had the most amazing life in my public service.

But as I always say to people I'm essentially a public service person.

Public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and to the nation.

I've been so blessed to be part of a family that has dedicated its life to public service.

I'm, you know, having begun my public service in state government. I very much respect the authority of states to make the decisions to provide for its citizen - the safety and welfare of its citizens.

As my parents taught me, by both words and deeds, a life of public services is as much a gift to the person who serves as it is to those he's serving.

Whatever your calling is as a service, follow it - that's beautiful.
