All men dream; but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty

A human being should be able to
change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog,
conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet,
balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone,
comfort the dying, take orders, give orders,
cooperate, act alone, solve equations,
analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer,
cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects.
