The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Who seeks shall find.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
May I say, finally, that I have no illusions of grandeur quite to the contrary, I am very humble in my knowledge that through forty years of my life my life has been an open book of service to my fellow architects and for the public good.
