To my teacher, my special friend;
Mr Sety Ongkowidjaja,

"A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart."

"Every great architect is -- necessarily -- a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age"

"The architect must be a prophet . . . a prophet in the true sense of the term . . . if he can't see at least ten years ahead don't call him an architect"

~ Frank Lloyd Wright ~

"And those men who are inventors and interpreters between Nature and man, as compared to boasters and declaimers of the works of others, must be regarded and not otherwise esteemed than as the object in front of the mirror, when compared with its image seen in the mirror. For the first is something in itself, and the other nothingness -- folks little indebted to Nature, since it is only by chance that they wear the human form and without it I might class them with the herd of beasts."

~ Leonardo Da Vinci ~

We give of ourselves when we give gifts of the heart:
love, kindness, joy, understanding, sympathy,
tolerance, forgiveness.

We give of ourselves when we give gifts of the mind:
ideas, dreams, purposes, ideals, principles, plans,
inventions, projects, poetry.

We give of ourselves when we give gifts of the spirit:
prayer, vision, beauty, aspiriation, peace, faith.

We give of ourselves when we give the gifts of words:
encouragemment, inspiration, guidance.

The only true gift is
a portion of thyself".

Thank you sir, for everything you have given me.
