Even as a young boy my passion was to design and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that.

For me unemployment and poverty in the Greater Montreal area is not mainly a problem of structure or design or statistics. It is a profoundly human situation.

Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown and something greater can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.

My mortal foe can no ways wish me a greater harm than England's hate neither should death be less welcome unto me than such a mishap betide me.

Quarreling over food and drink having neither scruples nor shame not knowing right from wrong not trying to avoid death or injury not fearful of greater strength or of greater numbers greedily aware only of food and drink - such is the bravery of the dog and boar.

It is not tolerable it is not possible that from so much death so much sacrifice and ruin so much heroism a greater and better humanity shall not emerge.

Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.

The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death because they are greater than anything he finds in himself and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.

Even within the last three or four years I have a greater ability to communicate I think. I have more courage to show the stuff... And it does take courage.

These rules may seem simple enough but it will require great morale and physical courage to adhere to them. But if carried out in the strict sense of the word it will surely lead to a greater success than could otherwise be attained.
