U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
at ND Law

"I encourage all of you to pursue public service, but go into it with your eyes open and your armor on," Gonzales said. "The higher you go, the more influential or powerful you are perceived to be, the more you are going to be criticized. ... But it's worth it. I wouldn't trade it for a second."
