The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.

Give yourself something to work toward - constantly.

If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

There is no substitute for victory.

Don't clap too hard - it's a very old building.

Friendship is Love without his wings!

Man becomes man only by his intelligence, but he is man only by his heart.

You can observe a lot just by watching.

The 20th anniversary of my dad David's death coincided with my 50th Test cap and for it to be my mum Janet's birthday, too, made it an emotional few days. It was not an easy week, being the Pink Test and my mum having had breast cancer twice.

There is no racial or ethnic involvement in Thanksgiving, and people who may be very distant from the Christian system can see the beauty and the positive spirit that comes from the holiday.

I am but an architectural composer.

Architecture is invention.

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

The cautious seldom err.

But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction, and that to change the environment is to change behaviour.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.

If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet.

I have never been jealous. Not even when my dad finished fifth grade a year before I did.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply!

Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.
