Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized.

Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty.

Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence.
