ARCHITECT, n. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money; who estimates the whole cost, and himself costs the whole estimate.

Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914?) American writer and journalist
“Architect,” The Cynic’s Word Book (1906)
    (Source)

Included in The Devil's Dictionary (1911), but just the first clause.
