Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed.

Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.

Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.

Manners is the key thing. Say, for instance, when you're growing up, you're walking down the street, you've got to tell everybody good morning. Everybody. You can't pass one person.

I get up in the morning looking for an adventure.

Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise.

There is no greater glory than love, nor any greater punishment than jealousy.

If you think Independence Day is America's defining holiday, think again. Thanksgiving deserves that title, hands-down.

From heresy, frenzy and jealousy, good Lord deliver me.

Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.

Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea.

God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

The only big things I've purchased are my dad's heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary. And that was only because my dad had a Lady Gaga license plate on our old car and it was making me crazy because he was getting followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car.

The power of one, if fearless and focused, is formidable, but the power of many working together is better.

The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.

Always expect the unexpected. Right around Thanksgiving, when the new Alex Cross will be out. It's called Four Blind Mice and it's a pretty amazing story about several murders inside the military.

Man is jealous because of his amour propre; woman is jealous because of her lack of it.

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

I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was worthy of an anniversary. And most girlfriends never made it to a year, anyway.

We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.

Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.

I don't believe in morality in architecture.

Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.
