giving wealth shame
One, Andrew Carnegie said, ‘He who dies with wealth dies in shame.’ And someone once said, ‘He who gives while he lives also knows where it goes.’
home giving would-be
At a time when all the other builders were selling homes with basements but without carports, we would sell homes without basements and with carports. This allowed us to provide a more appealing product at a lower price. In other words, we felt we would be giving customers greater value.
giving decision advice
Who you spend your life with-much more so than how you choose to spend it-is the most important decision you can make. Do it right. That's the best advice I can give you.
giving way reason-why
If someone can't give me a good reason why you can't do something, I find a way to do it.
writing giving people
Charity is just writing checks and not being engaged. Philanthropy, to me, is being engaged, not only with your resources but getting people and yourself really involved and doing things that haven't been done before.
cells people doubt
Without a doubt, stem cell research will lead to the dramatic improvement in the human condition and will benefit millions of people.
thinking common individual
I don't think it makes any sense for an individual to invest in common stocks unless they know the company, work at the company, and so on.
life moving challenges
Someone once told me I'm a sore winner, and they're right. I rarely take more than a moment to enjoy a success before I'm moving on and looking for the next challenge.
golf play long
I never play golf because it takes too long, and the business connections it produces can be made just as easily over an early breakfast.
strong together clients
I'm strong-willed. Architects are strong-willed. You get the best results with a strong client and a strong architect working together.
employee executives
A lot of executives act like their time is worth more than anyone else's. But I always respect an employee who guards his or her time, even from me.
real doe collectors
A real collector does not sell.
cities america museums
Any city in America would like to get a museum built if they didn't have to pay for it.
art way artist
Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.
