It does not matter whether one paints a picture, writes a poem, or carves a statue - simplicity is the mark of a master-hand.

I know of nothing more significant than the awakening of men and women throughout our country to the desire to improve their houses. Call it what you will - awakening, development, American Renaissance - it is a most startling and promising condition of affairs.

We cannot do better than to accept the standards of other times, and to adapt them to our uses.

Light, air and comfort - these three things I must always have in a room.

There never has been a house so bad that it couldn't be made over into something worthwhile.

A house should be a synthesis of comfort, practicality, and tradition.

Simplicity, suitability and proportion.
