A man is a fool if he drinks before he reaches the age of 50, and a fool if he doesn't afterward.

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

If White County imposed big restrictions and fees, we wouldn't fool with timber in White County when we can get timber [elsewhere] without any hassle.

No stream rises higher than its source. What ever man might build could never express or reflect more than he was. He could record neither more nor less than he had learned of life when the buildings were built.

If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger.

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.
