The Earth Is The Lord's Fullness Thereof:

The City Is A Fact In Nature, Like A Cave, A Run Of Mackerel Or An Ant-heap. But It Is Also A Conscious Work Of Art, And It Holds Within Its Communal Framework Many Simpler And More Personal Forms Of Art. Mind Takes Form In The City; And In Turn, Urban Forms Condition Mind.

While A Great Many Other Ideas And Measures Are Of Prime Importance For The Good Life Of The Community, That Which Concerns Its Architectural Expression Is The Notion Of The Community As Limited In Numbers, And In Area... To Express These Relations Clearly, To Embody Them In Buildings And Roads And Gardens In Which Each Individual Structure Will Be Subordinated To The Whole - This Is The End Of Community Planning.

A Day Spent Without The Sight Or Sound Of Beauty, The Contemplation Of Mystery, Or The Search Of Truth Or Perfection Is A Poverty-stricken Day; And A Succession Of Such Days Is Fatal To Human Life.

Nothing Endures Except Life: The Capacity For Birth, Growth, And Renewal.

Traditionalists Are Pessimists About The Future And Optimists About The Past.
