迷恋歌舞女色的心太浓重了，就会生出虚怯的毛病来；追求钱财利益的心太浓重了，就会生出贪得无厌的毛病来；热衷功名成就的心太浓重了，就会生出造作的毛病来；追求声誉名望的心太浓重了，就会生出言行偏激的毛病来。

看着容易，要学会就很难；千万不要把容易得到的东西看得普通，就不知道珍惜。

The best architecture comes from a synthesis of all the elements that separately comprise a building: the structure that holds it up; the services that allow it to function; its ecology; the quality of natural light; the symbolism of the form; the relationship of the building to the skyline and the surrounding public space.

If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
