Ghia Built Crown

Famous quotes containing the words built and/or crown:

    Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Give me simplicity, that I may live,
    So live and like, that I may know Thy ways,
    Know them and practise them: then shall I give
    For this poor wreath, give Thee a crown of praise.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
