Daniel Burnham

“The lakefront by right belongs to the people. It is not to be appropriated for the selfish and exclusive use of a few.”

“Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men'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.”

“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.”

“Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty.”

“A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?”

“Beauty has always paid. It is an asset, not an expense.”

“Our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us.”
