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.

2:55:01
But she was a saint.
2:55:05
Now, however,
we look to the future.

2:55:10
I remember something, uh,
Theodore Roosevelt wrote...

2:55:14
...when his first wife died...
2:55:16
...in his twenties.
2:55:18
He thought the light
had gone from his life forever.

2:55:21
But he went on, and he
not only became president...

2:55:25
...but as an ex-president,
he served his country...

2:55:28
...always in the arena,
tempestuous, strong...

2:55:32
...sometimes right,
sometimes wrong.

2:55:34
But he was a man.
2:55:37
And as I leave...
2:55:39
...thas an example I think
all of us should remember.

2:55:43
See, we think sometimes
when, uh...

2:55:46
...things happen
that don't go the right way;

2:55:49
...we think that when someone
dear to us dies...

2:55:52
...uh, when we lose
an election...

2:55:55
...or when we suffer defeat...
2:55:57
...that all is ended.
2:55:59
Not true.
