The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on.

Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins.

To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter.

On Sunday morning, I'm not nervous... I can't wait to tell what God wants me to say.

They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.

In a way, fraud in business is no different from infidelity in marriage or plagiarism in scholarly work. Even people committed to high moral standards succumb.

I like food. I like eating. And I don't want to deprive myself of good food.

My most memorable meal is every Thanksgiving. I love the food: the turkey and stuffing; the sweet potatoes and rice, which come from my mother's Southern heritage; the mashed potatoes, which come from my wife's Midwestern roots; the Campbell's green-bean casserole; and of course, pumpkin pie.

Keep the faith, don't lose your perseverance and always trust your gut extinct.

Well begun is half done.

Father's Day is hopefully a time when the culture says, 'This is our moment to look at who our men and boys are.'

Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive.

Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are.
