If you think about a Thanksgiving dinner, it's really like making a large chicken.

My parents used to throw great New Year's Eve parties. They invited such an eclectic mix of showbiz people. All those cool people were always hanging out at our apartment.

I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

In reality, relationships that are successful tend to take the attitude, 'How can I help you?' 'How can I enrich your life?' 'How can I be a better husband to you,' if it's a marriage.

Corporation: An ingenious device for obtaining profit without individual responsibility.

An organization, no matter how well designed, is only as good as the people who live and work in it.

May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.

What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.

Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies.

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom; wait until they have been married longer.

About four days a week, I do pretty good at having a morning prayer time. But even at that, it's a rambling sort of thing. What I have learned to do better is to try to keep my mind turned toward God and ear inclined toward God throughout the day, and I think I'm doing better at that, but I've got a long way to go.

Dear Lord; we beg but one boon more: Peace in the hearts of all men living, peace in the whole world this Thanksgiving.

I would rather drudge out my life on a cotton plantation, till the grave opened to give me rest, than to live with an unprincipled master and a jealous mistress.

I would love to be a father. I had a great father who taught me how gratifying that is. I'm not going to deny myself that. I think I'd be good at it. Everybody wants that experience. I definitely do.

Architecture is not an inspirational business, it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that's all.

Good buildings come from good people, and all problems are solved by good design.

Dad taught me everything I know. Unfortunately, he didn't teach me everything he knows.

I mean, I look at my dad. He was twenty when he started having a family, and he was always the coolest dad. He did everything for his kids, and he never made us feel like he was pressured. I know that it must be a great feeling to be a guy like that.

The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'

My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.

Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.

Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.

Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.
