I die the king's faithful servant, but God's first.

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

We are what we believe we are.

All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.

I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

Architecture is the art of how to waste space.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.
