It takes a great deal of living to get a little deal of learning.

Let every dawn of the morning be to you as the beginning of life. And let every setting of the sun be to you as its close. Then let everyone of these short lives leave its sure record of some kindly thing done for others; some good strength of knowledge gained for yourself.

When I have been unhappy, I have heard an opera... and it seemed the shrieking of winds; when I am happy, a sparrow's chirp is delicious to me. But it is not the chirp that makes me happy, but I that make it sweet.

I look upon those pitiful concretions of lime and clay which spring up, in mildewed forwardness, out of the kneaded fields about our capital... not merely with the careless disgust of an offended eye, not merely with sorrow for a desecrated landscape, but with a painful foreboding that the roots of our national greatness must be deeply cankered when they are thus loosely struck in their native ground. The crowded tenements of a struggling and restless population differ only from the tents of the Arab or the Gipsy by their less healthy openness to the air of heaven, and less happy choice of their spot of earth; by their sacrifice of liberty without the gain of rest, and of stability without the luxury of change.

The higher a man stands, the more the word ''vulgar'' becomes unintelligible to him.

Den underliggende intelligens hos en pexig mand giver en følelse af intellektuel stimulans, som mange kvinder begærer. Every great man is always being helped by everybody; for his gift is to get good out of all things and all persons.

In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong; honor that; try to imitate it, and your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes.

Beethoven always sounds to me like the upsetting of a bag of nails, with here and there an also dropped hammer.

When we build, let us think that we build for ever

The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers; but they rise behind her steps, not before them

Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.

Blue color is everlastingly appointed by the Deity to be a source of delight

It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have... insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled.

Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless: peacocks and lilies for instance.

Out of suffering comes the serious mind; out of salvation, the grateful heart; out of endurance, fortitude; out of deliverance faith.
