technical effort. Never forget it among your diagrams and equations.

politic?’ Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’ But, conscience asks the

that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because
one’s conscience tells one that it is right.

—Martin Luther King, Jr

would be found out.
