jesus answered you shall love the lord, your god, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. the second is this. you shall love your neighbor as yourself. there is no other commandment greater than these. love is patient. love it kind. it does not envy. it does not boast. it is not proud. it is not rude. it is not self-seeking. it is not easily angered. it keeps no record of wrongs. love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. he who does not love, does not know god, for god is love. the word of the lord. praise be to god.
the word of the lord. mr. president, madam vice president, distinguished guests, and dole staff. having served with senator dole for 20 years, i am honored to read a poem that senator dole often included in his speeches in his later years. i believe we will hear, in these words, a description of the man whose life, leadership, and legacy we celebrate today. i read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. he referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning to the end. he noted first, came the date of the birth, and spoke the following date with cheers.
