“The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.”

Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose honest arrogance and have seen no occasion to change.

The Machine is Intellect mastering the drudgery of the earth that the plastic art may live; that the margin of leisure and strength by which man’s life upon earth can be made beautiful, may immeasurably widen; its function ultimately to emancipate human expression!

Early in my career, I had to choose between an honest arrogance and a hypercritical humility… I deliberately choose an honest arrogance, and I’ve never been sorry.

A professional is one who does his best work when he feels the least like working.

The primitive ideals of centralization are now largely self-defeating. Human crucifixion by vertically on the now static checkerboard of the old city is pattern already in agony; yet for lack of any organic planning it is going on and on-not living, but rather hanging by its eyebrows from its nervous system.

The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.

The belief in a thing makes it happen.

Life is truth.

Bring out the nature of the materials. Let their nature intimately into your scheme.

Nature is my manifestation of God.

The ultimate creative thinking technique is to think like God. If you’re an atheist, pretend how God would do it.

I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

I prefer honest arrogance to hypocritical modesty.

Maybe we can show government how to operate better as a result of better architecture.

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

I don’t know whether you are a saint or a fool said my lawyer. I replied Is there a difference?

If you truly pour your heart into what you believe in, even if it makes you vulnerable, amazing things can and will happen.

You might not believe it but you make the world a better place when you smile.

While it is always best to believe in one’s self, a little help from others can be a great blessing.

I believe in free love and that’s just how I feel.

It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane.

Vulnerable ain’t easy believe me, but I go there.

You have to believe in yourself, that’s the secret.

I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.
