Specialists are people who always repeat the same mistakes.

Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society.

Specialists are people who always repeat the same mistakes.

Architecture begins where engineering ends.

If your contribution has been vital there will always be somebody to pick up where you left off, and that will be your claim to immortality.

Only work which is the product of inner compulsion can have spiritual meaning.

Architects, sculptors painters, we all must return to the crafts! For art is not a 'profession.' There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman. The artist is an exalted craftsman.

I am livid with rage, sitting here in chains through this mad war which kills any meaning of life... My nerves are shattered and my mind darkened.

If we investigate the vague feelings of the average man towards the arts, we find that he is timid and that he has developed a humble belief that art is something which has been invented centuries ago in countries like Greece or Italy and that all we can do about it is study it carefully and apply it.

Let us together create the new building of the future, which will be everything in one form: architecture and sculpture and painting.

New synthetic substances - steel, concrete, glass - are actively superseding the traditional raw materials of construction.

One of the outstanding achievements of the new constructional technique has been the abolition of the separating function of the wall.

Our fresh technical resources have furthered the disintegration of solid masses of masonry into slender piers, with consequent far-reaching economies in bulk, space, weight, and haulage.

Proficiency in a craft is essential to every artist. Therein lies the prime source of creative imagination. Let us then create a new guild of craftsmen without the class distinctions that raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist!

The Bauhaus strives to bring together all creative effort into one whole, to reunify all the disciplines of practical art - sculpture, painting, handicrafts, and crafts - as inseparable components of a new architecture.

The days of the painter at the Bauhaus appear to be truly over. They are estranged from the actual core of present activities, and their influence is more restricting than inspiring.

The development of the New Architecture encountered serious obstacles at a very early stage of its development. Conflicting theories and the dogmas enunciated in architects' personal manifestos all helped to confuse the main issue.

The fear that individuality will be crushed out by the growing 'tyranny' of standardization is the sort of myth which cannot withstand the briefest examination.

The general public, formerly profoundly indifferent to everything to do with building, has been shaken out of its torpor; personal interest in architecture as something that concerns every one of us in our daily lives has been very widely aroused; and the broad line of its future development are already clearly discernible.

The mere drawing and painting world of the pattern designer and the applied artist must become a world that builds again.

The school is the servant of the workshop and will one day be absorbed in it. Therefore there will be no teachers or pupils in the Bauhaus but masters, journeymen, and apprentices.

The strong desire to include every vital component of life instead of excluding part of them for the sake of too narrow and dogmatic an approach has characterized my whole life.

The ultimate, if distant, aim of the Bauhaus is the unified work of art - the great structure - in which there is no distinction between monumental and decorative art.

The utilization of flat roofs as 'grounds' offers us a means of re-acclimatizing nature amidst the stony deserts of our great towns; for the plots from which she has been evicted to make room for buildings can be given back to her up aloft.

Today the arts exist in isolation, from which they can be rescued only through the conscious, cooperative effort of all craftsmen. Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts.

Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward Heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith.

Under trees, the urban dweller might restore his troubled soul and find the blessing of a creative pause.

Limitation makes the creative mind inventive.

The mind is like an umbrella. Its most useful when open.

Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.

But no, I don't generally have trouble with spelling mistakes.

Lutherans, whose arguments and mistakes will not be difficult to contest or discover, do not want to attribute any value to works, and they do not understand enough the scope of the justification.

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.

Like most of those who study history, he (Napoleon III) learned from the mistakes of the past how to make new ones.

In examining the potential of individuals, we must focus on their strengths and not just their mistakes. We cannot be limited by what they may have spilled in the kitchen.

I don't make mistakes. I make prophecies which immediately turn out to be wrong.

We have made mistakes. In our haste to do all things for all people, we did not foresee the full consequences of our actions. And when the people raised their voices, we didn't hear. But our deafness was only a temporary condition, and not an irreversible condition.

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.

What you really remember at the beginning was that you have to throw a budget together. We made some terrible mistakes at the beginning in my own budget that took us at least a year to catch up on.

Learn from your mistakes and build on your successes.

To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity.

You're not the only one who's made mistakes, but they're the only things that you can truly call your own.

We didn't make no mistakes. We didn't make no mistakes.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.

The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.

To swear off making mistakes is very easy. All you have to do is swear off having ideas.

I'd rather not pinpoint my mistakes.

Words will not be able to ever express how sorry I am for this, and I have profound regret and sorrow for the multitude of mistakes and harm I have caused.
