Delay always breeds danger.

Miguel de Cervantes

Design is a field of concern, response, and enquiry as often as decision and consequence... it is convenient to group design into three simple categories, though the distinctions are in no way absolute, nor are they always so described: product design (things), environment design (places) and communication design (messages).

Norman Potter

Delay always heeds danger.

Miguel de Cervantes

The design of everyday things is in great danger of becoming the design of superfluous, overloaded, unnecessary things.

Donald A. Norman

Design is interesting because it's utopian. Art is often a jaundiced commentary on contemporary life. Design is always about the future; it's always about something great and new that's come out that will make the future brighter. It has this weird 18th - century positivism about it.

Momus

Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.

Henry Adams

If there is delay in getting culling teams out, delay in any part of the chain, even weeks, that could have great implications for the virus to spread.

David Nabarro

I think that we should not delay for the sake of delay, but delay until questions are answered.

Patrick Leahy

To the designer, great design is beautiful design. A significant amount of effort must be placed into making the product attractive. To the client, great design is effective. It must bring in customers and meet the goals put forth to the designer in the original brief. To the user, great design is functional. It’s easy to read, easy to use and easy to get out of it what was promised Truly great design, then, is when these three perspectives are considered and implemented equally to create a final product that is beautiful, effective and functional.

Joshua Johnson

Danger breeds best on too much confidence.

Pierre Corneille

Tis much when sceptres are in children's hands, But more when envy breeds unkind division: There comes the ruin, there begins confusion.

William Shakespeare

Although men flatter themselves with their great actions, they are not so often the result of a great design as of chance.

Francois Truffaut

If there is a well thought-out design standard, it should be followed. In practice, great design comes from great designers. That is empirically the case. If a great designer did a first-rate standard, that model should be followed. Great design is not democratic; it comes from great designers. If the standard is lousy, then develop another standard.

Edward Tufte

But it is important always to keep in mind that the danger of harming humans is not connected only or even mainly with telling secrets, there can be great danger in keeping secrets.

Daniel Ellsberg

Before thy undertaking of any design, weigh the glory of thy action with the danger of the attempt; if the glory outweigh the danger, it is cowardice to neglect it; if the danger exceed the glory, it is rashness to attempt it; if the balances stand poised, let thy own genius cast them.

Francis Quarles

It seems that most the world is driven by the eye, right? They design cities to look great but they always sound horrible ... They design telephones to look great, but they sound horrible. I think it was about time that the other senses were celebrated.

Bjork
