There's many a good man to be found under a shabby hat.
A man doesn't know till he tries it how killing uncongenial work is, and how it destroys the power of doing what one's fit for, even if there's time for both.
He knew how intelligent men could be broken by the stupidity of their superiors, how weeks of patient work night and day could be cast aside by such a man
The modern man has become a machine for survival, which is largely the result of work of chemicals and genetic codes.
I thought to myself how much more welcome a faculty the imagination would be if we could tell when it was at work and when not.
The greatest products of architecture are less the works of individuals than of society; rather the offspring of a nation's effort, than the inspired flash of a man of genius...
Man was designed in a way in which he must eat in order to give him a solid reason to go to work everyday. This helps to keep him out of trouble. God is wise.
