Think Big

Several quotes have attracted my attention, and a few have been rewritten on scraps of paper and stuck on the wall by my desk.   This is one of them.

Make no little plans.   They have no magic to stir men's blood .....

The rest of the quote goes like this,  ... 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 are going to do things that would stagger us.   Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty.   Think big.     Daniel Burnham 1893
