Famous quotes containing the words architecture and/or support:

    “It seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the Government, Government should not support the people.”
    —Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
