“Running fast is useless if it is in the wrong direction. Even worse is to run fast into a bottomless pit. It is better to walk sometimes, and even better, to be conscious and still, and do nothing sometimes. To be conscious one has to be unconscious "asleep" a lot." - Solomon Vimal (geothara.com)”

“Who scouts through wilderness and cold
And finds the stone that turns to gold,
The gems of Nature's wealth untold--
The Engineer.
Who gets five paltry plunks per day
To give the thing he finds away
To some one else who makes it pay--
The Engineer.
Who's heart is always in the game,
When trouble comes it's just the same,
But when it comes, who gets the blame?
The Engineer.
- Robert Elmer Horton (Water Power and Water Supply Preliminaries, 1913, Michigan Engineer)”
