Our work is the presentation of our capabilities.

Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.

Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with.

First thing every morning before you arise say out loud, 'I believe,' three times.

I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.

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.

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

No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

If you have a harem of 40 women, you never get to know any of them very well.

What's the subject of life - to get rich? All of those fellows out there getting rich could be dancing around the real subject of life.

Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.

To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect.

Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.

Christians were instructed to serve others, and the thanksgiving was for the grace of God and the fact that God offered a way for man to return to a positive relationship with Him.

The return we reap from generous actions is not always evident.

I was raised in the greatest of homes... just a really great dad, and I miss him so much... he was a good man, a real simple man... Very faithful, always loved my mom, always provided for the kids, and just a lot of fun.

I do respect people's faith, but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control.

Our dad was a great guy and we will never forget him.

Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.

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

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone.

Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness.
