Quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright

If it keeps up,
man will atrophy all his limbs
but the push-button finger.
Mechanization best serves mediocrity.
Life always rides in strength to victory,
not through internationalism...
but only through the direct responsibility of the individual.
The heart is the chief feature of a functioning mind.
Harvard takes perfectly good plums as students,
and turns them into prunes.
The thing always happens that you really believe in;
and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
Get the habit of analysis -
analysis will in time enable synthesis to become your habit of mind.
The truth is more important than the facts.
There is nothing more uncommon than common sense.
"Think simple" as my old master used to say -
meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms,
getting back to first principles.
Bid me crew avast! Keep yer banner high
Classed, forever a class :)
Class of our own
Wind be at yer backs, sails never slackin'
