"To define it rudely but not inaptly, engineering is the art of doing that well with one dollar which any bungler can do with two after a fashion."

My favorite way of expressing the same thing: "Anyone can design a bridge that will stand up. It takes an engineer to design a bridge that will barely stand up."
Not sure where this came from -- Douglas Adams, maybe?
