1 Age

  • 1. And in my own life in my own small way I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us – no matter what our age or background or walk of life – each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation.
  • 2. Middle age is when you've met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else.
  • 3. Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I know that my grandfather is 92 years old. And he has seen this country evolve in amazing ways. He looks at South Carolina and he says wow what an amazing state that we have the blessing to live within because of the evolution.
  • 2. If you're writing you're starting in private. It can really be this amazing private freeing experience. Forget that it's for other people – that comes in later.
  • 3. It's an amazing luxury to say I'm 31 years old and I'm gonna take a year off. That's pretty amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. I may have been the only candidate in America who failed to ride the wave of anti-establishment anger to victory.
  • 2. Anger is a good motivator.
  • 3. I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.
  • 2. So while an incredible amount of progress has been made on this fifth anniversary I wanted to come here and tell the people of this city directly: My administration is going to stand with you – and fight alongside you – until the job is done. Until New Orleans is all the way back all the way.
  • 3. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Italy is full of historical buildings. And Europe holds a great history of philosophy from Greece until today. I read all those books and see these buildings and I think of where I stand when I design my architecture.
  • 2. Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.
  • 3. The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line.
