tulisan yang pernah saya baca di salahsatu majalah, didedikasikan kepada profesi Arsitek

I will open my eyes to VISION, that may unlock the message in the stone and the clay. Let me sense in the sand and the iron and the tree the mystery beyond all mysterys, The builder beyond all building, with vision MAY I ALWAYS BUILD

I will open my mind to HUMILITY, that may remember my debt to those who have taught me, And strive to dischange it to those whom i teach, let me be always aware that my days are short, my work is long, my talent endures not forever, In humility, MAY I ALWAYS BUILD

*

I will open my heart to PATIENCE, that those for whom i plan may not be denied their true answer throught any haste of mine or shallow expediency. As my art grows in the building of human,s shelter, so may heart grow in the building of human’s happiness. Patiently MAY I ALWAYS BUILD

*

I will open my hands to ARTISTRY, that i may skillfully turn points, line and plane to the support and protection of human’s body, to the nourishment of their hope, to preservation of his culture. Let me tools be adroit and ready weapons un their resistance to decay and struggle to be free. With artistry MAY I ALWAYS BUILD

*

Even in the whole world ravage and destroy, MAY I ALWAYS BUILD. Let my work go beyond creed and colour and nation, bridging the world of difference, letting fall to ruin the house of war and enlarging the house of peace. While the breath of great architect is me, MAY I ALWAYS BUILD
