Words to run by ...

“Make big plans, aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical plan once recorded will never die; But long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency.

Remember that our sons and daughters are going to do things that will stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon, beauty. Think big.”
Daniel Burnham, U.S. architect and planner, 1893 World’s Fair
