What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up Like a raisin in the sun?

Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Reagan and Coolidge
Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.
The man who builds a factory builds a temple, that the man who works there worships there, and to each is due, not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise.
