Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.

No employer today is independent of those about him. He cannot succeed alone, no matter how great his ability or capital. Business today is more than ever a question of cooperation.

Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.

I'll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.
