Quote of the Week

"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir one's blood and
probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in
hope and work; remembering that a noble, logical diagram 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 grandsons and daughters and granddaughters are going to
do things that would stagger us." -

Daniel Hudson Burnham, Chicago Architect
