Our enemies are our evil deeds and their memories, our pride, our selfishness, our malice, our passions, which by conscience or by habit pursue us with a relentlessness past the power of figure to express.

Love is the most selfish of all the passions.

The time which we have at our disposal every day is elastic; the passions that we feel expand it, those that we inspire contract it; and habit fills up what remains.

The results are breathtaking and it gives us all a special sense of pride to see the remains of these magnificent creatures come back to life to be enjoyed by many more generations. Our only concern is vandalism toward their remaining beauty and in an effort to avoid it, Jimmy has decided to add a 'history of the walls and furnishings' to each suite entreating guests and their children to treat this labor of love with respect.

Most people are far too much occupied with themselves to be malicious.

Our enemy is [. . .] and all people like him, who never question their motives or doubt their desires. They are put on this earth to cause misery, because what they take so freely for themselves comes always at great cost to others.
