There are many fine careers.
2:53:26
This country needs
good farmers...
2:53:28
...good businessmen,
good plumbers...
2:53:33
...good carpenters.
2:53:36
I remember my old man.
2:53:40
I think that they would have
called him sort of a...
2:53:43
...sort of a little man,
a common man.
2:53:46
Well, he didn't consider
himself that way.
2:53:51
You know what he was?
2:53:54
He was a streetcar motorman first.
2:53:56
Then he was a farmer.
2:54:00
Then he had a lemon ranch.
2:54:02
It was the poorest lemon ranch
in California, I can assure you.
2:54:05
He sold it before
they found oil on it.
2:54:11
Then he was a grocer.
2:54:14
But he was a great man...
2:54:16
...because he did his job.
2:54:19
And every job counts
up to the hilt...
2:54:22
...regardless of what happens.
2:54:25
Nobody will ever write a book,
probably, about my mother.
2:54:30
Well, I guess
all of you would...
2:54:33
...say this
about your mother.
2:54:37
My mother was a saint.
2:54:41
And I think of her...
2:54:42
...two boys dying
of tuberculosis...
2:54:46
...and seeing each of them die.
2:54:49
And when they died...
2:54:55
Yes, she will have no books
written about her.
