Architecture is inhabited sculpture.

Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life, even so let one cultivate a boundless love towards all beings.

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

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

I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life.

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

I don't know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.

Until you have a son of your own... you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son.

A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.

If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.

Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul.
