When you build a beautiful building, people love it. And the most sustainable building in the world is the one that’s loved.

When sustainability is viewed as being a matter of survival for your business, I believe you can create massive change.

If you focus on design, you can call yourself a designer. If you focus on the implementation of your design, you can call yourself an architect.

We just have to recognize life for what it is: a gift to be grateful for, not a property to cling to, hoard, or defend.

Pain and love - the whole of life, in short - cannot be looked on as a disease just because they make us suffer.

When I walk through that gate to the court, that's my escape. I block out everything, good and bad.

Algebra is rich in structure but weak in meaning.

Love all. Serve all. Help ever. Hurt never.

Happiness is not limited. There’s enough for everyone.
