Whilst the last members were signing the Constitution, Doctor Franklin, looking towards the Presidents chair, at the back of which a rising sun happened to be painted, observed to a few members near him, that painters had found it difficult to distinguish in their art, a rising, from a setting, sun. I have, said he, often and often, in the course of the session, and the vicissitudes of my hopes and fears as to its issue, looked at that behind the President, without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting; but now at length, I have the happiness to know, that it is a rising, and not a setting sun.

In a lunch session at the slaughterhouse, a lamb jumped out of its pen and came unnoticed up to some slaughtermen who were sitting in a circle eating some sandwiches; the lamb approached and nibbled a small piece of lettuce that a man was holding in his hand. The men gave the lamb some more lettuce and when the lunch period was over they were so affected by the action of the lamb that not one of them was prepared to kill this creature, and it had to be sent away elsewhere - showing that within each human soul there is an element of pity, compassion and love in varying degrees.

We expect the next session not to be politicized.
|
We can count more women who needed to be in this session. They are out there. We're aiming at women in need. Women who don't have the skills to have a job or don't have their GED. We don't care what kind of situation they're in.

Training was good, he (Houston) was in good spirits but at the end of the training session, upon reflection he probably thought he had a few more things to sort out.
|
I mean, I could just go round and use session musicians for every song, but I don't find that helps when it comes to setting up a band for live. Derrick has been with me for donkey's years.

No man's life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session.
|
I want to thank each and every one of you for having extinguished yourselves this session.
|
We're meeting demand where it lays. [The summer session] is actually oversubscribed, which is a success story in terms of the progress we've made since our first year in 1977. We just want enough students for them to have a good experience.
