Building and Housing
When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight, nor for present use alone, let it be such work, as our descendants will thank us for. And let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred, because our hands have touched them, and that men will say as they look upon the labour and wrought substance of them, “see, this our fathers did for us”. John Ruskin
