No human pursuit achieves dignity unless it can be called work, and when you can experience a physical loneliness for the tools of your trade, you see that the other things - the experiments, the irrelevant vocations, the vanities you used to hold - were false to you.
- Beryl Markham, 1902 - 1986
The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.
- Confucius
You've got to know where the machinery is and how it works before you can throw a monkey-wrench into it.
- Michael H. Brown
Man is a Tool-using Animal.... Nowhere do you find him without Tools; without Tools he is nothing, with Tools he is all.
- Thomas Carlyle, 1795 - 1881
Machinery is aggressive. The weaver becomes a web, the machinist a machine. If you do not use the tools, they use you. All tools are in one sense edge-tools, and dangerous.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803 - 1882
In this world a man must be either anvil or hammer.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1807 - 1882
