The real moral test of a society is how it treats those who are at the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadow of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.

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; the ecology of the building - its relationship to the surroundings; the quality of natural light; the symbolism of the form; the relationship of the building to the skyline.

The best way to help people is not to do things for them, but to help them do things for themselves.

The good life is not found in luxury, but in the freedom to choose our own path.

未来不是被预测的，而是被创造的。

出自唐代龙牙居遁禅师《偈颂并序·其四十三》，意思是我虽然以花木水果为食，以树木草皮为衣，但我的心境却像那高悬夜空的明月一样，清澈而宁静；我一生不妄求、不计较、不执着，人到无求品自高，人到无念便安闲。一生无念，并不是放弃追求，而是一种放下执着，放下无谓的忧虑，放下不切实际的幻想，心无旁骛的生活态度。人生有许多不可知的偶然，或许在放下的瞬间，就会有意想不到的新天地。

Every challenge is an opportunity in disguise.
