Let every man feel that he is the architect and builder of his own life, and that he proposes to make a success of it by working.

Every man is the architect of his own life. He builds it just the way he wants it. However, after he has built what he wants, he sometimes decides that he doesn't like what he has built and looks for someone or something to blame instead of changing himself.

Every man is his own ancestor, and every man his own heir. He devises his own fortune, and he inherits his own past.

Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.

Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.

A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart.

If architects weren't arrogant, they wouldn't be architects. I don't know a modest good architect.

All clients think that they are architects.

Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.

The ultimate goal of the architect...is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture... should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people.
