Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

Love, hope, fear, faith - these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character.

Drink and be thankful to the host! What seems insignificant when you have it, is important when you need it.

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

The ancient Romans built their greatest masterpieces of architecture, their amphitheaters, for wild beasts to fight in.

Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes.

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.

Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.

Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.

I am drawn to women who are independent and creative, which is problematic because it's a struggle, a competition of careers. There's jealousy.

There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.

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

Man is jealous because of his amour propre; woman is jealous because of her lack of it.

My mom makes something called green pie, which I thought was a delicacy that many people only had at Thanksgiving, but it turns out it was just Jell-O with whipped cream on it. And it's delicious.

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.

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.

I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.

Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off with a good head on my shoulders, saying to myself, 'It's going to be a good day!'.

What worries you, masters you.

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

Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day, which must be done, whether you like it or not.

I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was worthy of an anniversary. And most girlfriends never made it to a year, anyway.

Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.
