There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, ‘Yes, I’ve got dreams, of course I’ve got dreams.’ Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they’re still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box.

Quote, saying and phrase by: Erma Bombeck

Things are going to have to get worse before they join in fighting the battle.
