William Shakespeare’s definition of QS”


“When we mean to build, we first survey the plot, then draw the model, and when we see the figures of the house, then must we rate the cost of the erection. Which if we find outweighs ability, what do we then, but draw anew the model in fewer offices, or at least desist to build at all.”
