I think long-lasting, healthy relationships are more important than the idea of marriage. At the root of every successful marriage is a strong partnership.

A man of courage is also full of faith.

If you want to kill any idea in the world, get a committee working on it.

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

You don't need a silver fork to eat good food.

There is nothing permanent except change.

Architects of grandeur are often the master builders of disillusionment.

The great leaders are like the best conductors - they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players.

Lose an hour in the morning, and you will spend all day looking for it.

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

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.

Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

Architecture begins where engineering ends.

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.

Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.

Nobody ever drowned in his own sweat.

Christmas and Thanksgiving are the two days of the year where we know the spurs are going to stay off the boots because the family doesn't have to work. It's such a nice - and rare - treat!

Jealousy - that jumble of secret worship and ostensible aversion.
