Lawyer Quotes

To its devotees the bowtie suggests iconoclasm of an Old World sort, a fusty adherence to a contrarian point of view. The bowtie hints at intellectualism, real or feigned, and sometimes suggests technical acumen, perhaps because it is so hard to tie.

But perhaps most of all, wearing a bow tie is a way of broadcasting an aggressive lack of concern for what other people think.

I worked to make sure that kids with disabilities could get a public education, something that I care very much about.

So I have a deep devotion to making sure that an every American feels like he or she has a place in our country.
