Famous quotes containing the word design:

    If design govern in a thing so small.

    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.
    Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
