They were there hours before you building the stage, and they will be there hours after you leave tearing it down. They should get your salary, and you should get theirs. (Henry Rollins)

It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one - and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces. View quote
