here is another one.........a rather long one and how i view my profession...

“The pursuit of perfection in architecture is often perceived as the result of a solitary visionary artist committing endless hours to achieve perfection in the built environment. This common societal perception belies the reality of the profession. The pursuit of excellence in architecture is a result of a series of personal sacrifices made by thousands of individuals, each of whom, for a variety of reasons, has chosen to make a Sisyphean commitment and sacrifice to themselves, their colleagues and the building. Architects exemplify these crucial characteristics.”

“The integrity, trust, respect and commitment not only to themselves but to their colleagues and to the pursuit of architectural excellence displayed by our staff has produced projects which reflect these qualities in the built environment. It is this standard, which encourages our teams to approach each project with a sense of commitment and attention to detail which in turn encourages the entire project team to strive for buildings which reflect the people who build them.”

There are good ships
and there are wood ships
the ships that sail the seas
but the best ships are friendships
and may they always be.

I like them plain, simple yet to the point.

"We ain't what we oughta be,
We ain't what we wanna be,
We ain't what we gonna be,
But, thank God, we ain't what we was."

Martin Luther King jr said it but I think he stole it from someone else.
