Daniel Burnham

I was wondering who said, "Make no small plans," then I realized it was actually,

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

-Daniel Burnham, 1910

I really love this quote. It's inspirational, relevant, and bold. It has gotten me to look into Daniel Burnham's life and works more and more. The wikipedia is always a good start.

Making me hungry this week: USA Today.

"The dump gradually grew into a range of hills that extended nearly a mile, burying the old historic wall underneath it. The decaying medieval fabric of the Darb al-Ahmar district is just beyond.
