Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quotes

When a house is being built which is to be made as strong as possible, the building takes place in fine weather and in calm, so that nothing may hinder the structure from acquiring the needed solidity.

You need a blueprint to build a house because you need to know how far the concrete is going to be poured and you need to know how think the walls have to be.

Success doesn't necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won't win a game or a battle; the win comes from basic blocking and tackling.

Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins.

All those involved in the construction of an architectural design, from the architect to the builder, have an attachment to the architecture, although it's difficult to quantify the attachment.

It's like when you want to make a house... the technique is very important.

When I was working in my first job engineering construction, what I liked the most was working with architects and making buildings that had this creative side coming from the architect and that were making them a big success.

Whatever sport you're looking at, it's usually the team that makes the least mistakes that has the most success.

You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments, while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range, and delivering a long-range plan, and executing on that.

As long as we continue to execute, everything will work out for everybody at GoPro.

Elon Musk is a very, very smart man, but there are a lot of smart people in this world, and you've got to execute. He's got execution problems.

If we launch a new product, we have to time it right. It's not about how soon you can do it but how well we can do it.

I am not interested in constructing a building, so much as in having a perspicuous view of the foundations of possible buildings.

When the materials are all prepared and ready, the architects shall appear.

Every well built house started in the form of a definite purpose plus a definite plan in the nature of a set of blueprints.

What makes success is not your genius idea, but the execution and follow-through around it

When we mean to build, We first survey the plot, then draw the model; And when we see the figure of the house, Then must we rate the cost of the erection.

The foundation stones of a great building are destined to groan and be pressed upon; it is not for them to crown the edifice.

Ideas by themselves are not worth anything, only executing well is what creates value.

In an arch each single stone which, if severed from the rest, would be perhaps defenceless is sufficiently secured by the solidity and entireness of the whole fabric, of which it is a part.

Ready, fire, aim. Do it! Make it happen! Action counts. No one ever sat their way to success.

Success is 20% skills and 80% strategy

Architecture is not based on concrete and steel, and the elements of the soil. It's based on wonder.

If you have a dream: Number one, make a plan. And then execute that plan. And there will be failures along that line. Don't let that discourage you. Because failure is part of the process ... make the necessary adjustments and you can be successful at whatever you do.

Ideas are a dime a dozen. People who implement them are priceless.
