One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.

I call architecture frozen music.

The secret to a long marriage is to stay gone.

That's the way I got along in life. I don't ever remember being particularly jealous of anybody, because I figured if I can't do it myself, I don't deserve to get it.

Faith is a passionate intuition.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.

It is my belief that no matter how advanced man may become in science, technology, systems, and knowledge, he can never improve on the foundational precepts of marriage as the bedrock of social development.

I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.

Jealousy is the grave of affection.

Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.

What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Carpe per diem - seize the check.

Genius is never understood in its own time.

A leader is a dealer in hope.

One of the greatest gifts my father gave me - unintentionally - was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity. We had a bit of a rollercoaster life with some really challenging financial periods. He was always unshaken, completely tranquil, the same ebullient, laughing, jovial man.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.

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

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

I imagine God to be like my father. My father was always the voice of certainty in my life. Certainty in the wisdom, certainty in the path, certainty always in God. For me God is certainty in everything. Certainty that everything is good and everything is God.

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

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