"I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wishes. The greater part of all mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims. They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"The most solid stone in the structure is the lowest one in the foundation." Kahlil Gibran
“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.” David Brinkley
“The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.” Thomas Kempis
“Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.” Saint Augustine
“Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” Henry David Thoreau
"The loftiest edifices need the deepest foundations." George Santayana
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." Matthew 7:24-29
