"You cannot plow a field by turning it over in your mind." Anonymous "Our pathway must be up through the soil, up through swamps, up through forests, up through streams and rocks, up through commerce, education, and religion! In my opinion, we cannot begin at the top to build a house. If we try to do this, we shall reap in the end the fruits of our folly." Booker T.
