My passion and great enjoyment for architecture and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it is because I believe we - architects - can effect the quality of life of the people.

I've had an amazing professional life personal life but at 64 to have a son who gives us that much love and enjoyment is wow!

This and this alone is Christianity a universal holiness in every part of life a heavenly wisdom in all our actions not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.

Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is at once best in quality and infinite in quantity.

As winter strips the leaves from around us so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
