“Whatever good things we build end up building us.”
“We build dwellings and thereafter they build us.”
“First we build the tools, then they build us.”
“We used to build temples, and museums are about as close as secular society dares to go in facing up to the idea that a good building can change your life (and a bad one ruin it).”
“What a sad thing men are. Can’t do nothing good without being so weak we have to mess it up. Can’t build something up without tearing itdown.”
“Look for good in men, and where they fail to posses it, try to build it up in them; try to increase the good in them; look for the good; build up the good; sustain the good; and speak as little about the evil as you possibly can.”
