“A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life.”

“The foraging for food and water, the struggle for life in a world without masters, housed in a body that man had made dependent on himself.”

“But a few understand that building is a great symbol we live in our minds, and existence is the attempt to bring that life into physical reality, to state it in gesture and form. For the man who understands this, a house he owns is a statement of his life.”

“Without denying that adaptation may be one of God's methods of operation, it may be definitely said, that an intelligent Master of the universe, in which we believe, has the power to prepare an earth to fit the needs of man; or fit man to meet the conditions of earth. If He were not able to do so, He would be inferior to His creatures who build houses for human comfort, and equip them with heating, freezing, and many other devices. The argument for adaptation, standing alone, requires chance as a creative force. That we do not and cannot believe.”

“The ceaseless labor of your life is to build the house of death.”

“A developer is someone who wants to build a house in the woods. An environmentalist is someone who already has a house in the woods.”
