Stick to this material, teach yourself to fish, and feed yourself for a lifetime. > Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.\ > \ > T.
