It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction. Albert Einstein Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Calvin Coolidge |
