The thing people don't understand is that touring or travelling or whatever you do in my position means you go to all these cool places all over the world but you see everything from a car window. You don't get to see much of the city or meet people at all.

My professional life has been a constant record of disillusion and many things that seem wonderful to most men are the every-day commonplaces of my business.

Losses have propelled me to even bigger places so I understand the importance of losing. You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It's in any game that you're in - a business game or whatever - you can't get complacent.

I find myself going to places where I really have no business speaking to these people in a whole other field that I have no extensive knowledge of. But I do it very often because it scares me.

The 9-9-9 plan would resuscitate this economy because it replaces the outdated tax code that allows politicians to pick winners and losers and to provide favors in the form of tax breaks special exemptions and loopholes. It simplifies the code dramatically: 9% business flat tax 9% personal flat tax 9% sales tax.

In today's social business marketplace Facebook is one of the best places for nonprofits to be discovered and connect with a larger audience on the basis of shared values. So to get started a non-profit should launch a Facebook page and invite your existing real world community to connect your cause and their networks.

If we get our self-esteem from superficial places from our popularity appearance business success financial situation health any of these we will be disappointed because no one can guarantee that we'll have them tomorrow.

We are in danger of making our cities places where business goes on but where life in its real sense is lost.

I've been all over the world. I love New York I love Paris San Francisco so many places. But there's no place like New Orleans. It's got the best food. It's got the best music. It's got the best people. It's got the most fun stuff to do.

A strong hatred is the best lamp to bear in our hands as we go over the dark places of life cutting away the dead things men tell us to revere.

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken - and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

For the greater beauty of the instrument the balls representing the planets are to be of considerable bigness but so contrived that they may be taken off at pleasure and others much smaller and fitter for some purposes put in their places.

In places where this beauty has already disappeared we will reconstruct it.

Beauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well your smile lines are in the right places and your frown lines aren't too bad what more do you need?

People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder ' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look including inside ourselves.

Paris is one of the most beautiful places in all the world. Unfortunately I was so homesick I couldn't appreciate its beauty.

The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility you are not attractive - you are leaking.

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.

When museums are built these days architects directors and trustees seem most concerned about social space: places to have parties eat dinner wine-and-dine donors. Sure these are important these days - museums have to bring in money - but they gobble up space and push the art itself far away from the entrance.

All art comes from other art and all immigrants come from other places.

One of my favorite vacation places is Miami because of the people the water and the beach - of course - and the architecture on Miami Beach is so wonderful.

But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction and that to change the environment is to change behaviour.

Look architecture has a lot of places to hide behind a lot of excuses. 'The client made me do this.' 'The city made me do this.' 'Oh the budget.' I don't believe that anymore.

Color in certain places has the great value of making the outlines and structural planes seem more energetic.
