1 Age

  • 1. Second to agriculture humbug is the biggest industry of our age.
  • 2. I feel more mature than most people my age.
  • 3. I was well motivated. What I wanted to do was work for myself. I had twenty two jobs before I started my business at the age of twenty three and I didn't want one more boss telling me what to do. So I was motivated simply because I didn't want a boss.

2 Amazing

  • 2. You marry somebody you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.
  • 3. Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls with whom they make up a sole family – a domestic church.

5 Architecture

  • 1. If you examine this I think that you will find that it's the mechanics of Japanese architecture that have been thought of as the direct influence upon our architecture.
  • 2. Architecture and building is about how you get around the obstacles that are presented to you. That sometimes determines how successful you'll be: How good are you at going around obstacles?
  • 3. In fact it will be very easy to climb the building because of its shape and architecture.
