Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. By the age of 9 or 10 I knew that I had to cut my own cloth and make my own way.
  • 2. Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
  • 3. What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one's faculties mental and physical but the burden of one's memories.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Childbirth is more admirable than conquest more amazing than self-defense and as courageous as either one.
  • 2. I feel fortunate I have this amazing relationship with so many people in America because I was in their homes at a very private time of day. They probably might have still had their robe on and their slippers and haven't made the beds.
  • 3. I come back to the same thing: We've got the greatest pipeline in the company's history in the next 12 months and we've had the most amazing financial results possible over the last five years and we're predicting being back at double-digit revenue growth in fiscal year '06.

3 Anger

  • 1. One should not lose one's temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end.
  • 2. We are losing sight of civility in government and politics. Debate and dialogue is taking a back seat to the politics of destruction and anger and control. Dogma has replaced thoughtful discussion between people of differing views.
  • 3. Our task of course is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think in fact that one could give that as a definition of revolution.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Mr. Speaker I rise today to recognize the Peace Corps as it reached its 45th anniversary on March 1 2006.
  • 2. On July 18 we will mark the 12th anniversary of the senseless loss of 85 lives in the bombing of the Jewish Cultural Center in Buenos Aires Argentina.
  • 3. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.

5 Architecture

  • 1. For many years I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose it seems to me must be the improvement of mankind.
  • 2. I'm often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That's impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more.
  • 3. The architecture profession has lost a lot of its integrity especially in the USA. The general architect here has no scruples no ambitions.
