1 Age

  • 1. Old age is no place for sissies.
  • 2. I had the good fortune to be able to right an injustice that I thought was being heaped on young people by lowering the voting age where you had young people that were old enough to die in Vietnam but not old enough to vote for their members of Congress that sent them there.
  • 3. 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 Amazing

  • 1. I had an amazing childhood.
  • 2. I don't know how many thoughts we have a second but it's quite an amazing number and just to pin down the appropriate sequence of those all you really need is a pencil and a piece of paper.
  • 3. The people who did the collateralized mortgage obligations sold them to pension funds then sold them short then bought credit default swap insurance on them are just amazing. They are a law unto themselves.

3 Anger

  • 1. A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
  • 2. He took over anger to intimidate subordinates and in time anger took over him.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year's 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.
  • 2. Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom wait until they have been married longer.
  • 3. The heart of marriage is memories and if the two of you happen to have the same ones and can savor your reruns then your marriage is a gift from the gods.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The way of architecture is the quiet voice that underlies it and has guided it from the beginning.
  • 2. Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
  • 3. Architecture should speak of its time and place but yearn for timelessness.
