We build dwellings and thereafter they build us.

First we build the tools, then they build us.

We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.

As we are, so we do; and as we do, so is it done to us; we are the builders of our fortunes.

The things that make us happy make us wise.

IF YOU GO TO WORK ON YOUR PLAN, YOUR PLAN WILL GO TO WORK ON YOU. WHATEVER GOOD THINGS WE BUILD, END UP BUILDING US.” — Jim Rohn

We see the potential for good in others and gain hope that we can survive and rebuild.

When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.

Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.

You know what’s better than building things up in your imagination? Building things up in real life.

We used to build temples, and museums are about as close as secular society dares to go in facing up to the idea that a good building can change your life (and a bad one ruin it).

We are all woven together in the great web of humanity, and whatever we can do to benefit and uplift others will reflect in blessing upon ourselves.

Everything that happens to us has been designed for our spiritual growth.

Out of all this struggle a good thing is going to grow. That makes it worthwhile.
