“I'm the mayor of the largest city in my state. But I will never forget for the rest of my life that the greatness I saw best exhibited that night In the worst storm in a century in my state, the greatness best exhibited was not the people in offices on high. It was the man who took to the top of the hill in a savage storm. To hold up his light in the savage wind, to make sure that his neighbors, that his fellow Americans would not get hurt.” (22:07–22:13)
