Thanks for your response. I'll try chomping it. Also thanks for the suggestion on using the alternate seperators. That'll read much better.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
--Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933)
