Abraham A. Ribicoff

I've been around the track a lot. I've had the best of the years, and I don't want a single year back.

Nothing is as sad as seeing a person who used to have power have none.

Abe Ribicoff believes in that American dream. I believe it from the bottom of my heart, and your sons and daughters, too, can have the American dream come true.

My father was a factory worker, and we were really poor. But everything I earned peddling papers and working in stores, he made me put aside for education.

I loved every day I was in politics. But I got out at the right time. I never miss it.
