The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it.
From John Ruskin
The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love colour the most.
We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.
No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.
An architect should live as little in cities as a painter. Send him to our hills, and let him study there what nature understands by a buttress, and what by a dome.
No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.
Men were not intended to work with the accuracy of tools, to be precise and perfect in all their actions.
When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.
There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey.
Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.
