Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Lord Chesterfield British Statesman

Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness is its poison.

Lord Chesterfield British Statesman

Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it.

Lord Chesterfield British Statesman

Distrust those who love you extremely upon a slight acquaintance, and without any visible reason.

Lord Chesterfield British Statesman

Because beauty isn't enough, there must be something more.

Eva Herzigova Model

The sense of beauty is intuitive, and beauty itself is all that inspires pleasure without, and aloof from, and even contrarily to interest.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge Poet

'Tis not a lip, or eye, we beauty call, But the joint force and full result of all.

Alexander Pope Poet

Architecture is not about building the impossible, which we can do if we have enough money and enough tools and enough computers. It is about building what is appropriate and about attaining beauty through such an approach. I describe this premise as 'inherent buildability', and I believe it is central to what I do.

Moshe Safdie Architect

So behave that the odor of your actions may enhance the general sweetness of the atmosphere, that when we behold or scent a flower, we may not be reminded how inconsistent your deeds are with it; for all odor is but one form of advertisement of a moral quality, and if fair actions had not been performed, the lily would not smell sweet. The foul slime stands for the sloth and vice of man, the decay of humanity; the fragrant flower that springs from it, for the purity and courage which are immortal.

Henry David Thoreau Author

The hand that rounded Peter's dome, And groined the aisles of Christian Rome, Wrought in a sad sincerity; Himself from God he could not free; He builded better than he knew: The conscious stone to beauty grew.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Essayist
