Excerpt from Suggestions and Exercises for Manual Training
Man without too is nothing; with tools he is all. - Carlyle.
The great gulf between the savage and the civilized man is spanned by the seven hand tools the axe, the saw, the plane, the hammer, the square, the chisel, and the file. - Charles H. Ham.
James Watt conferred upon his country more solid benefits than all the treaties she ever made and all the battles she ever won. - Dr. Draper.
For the most significant fact in all the realm of certitude is the fact that man impresses himself upon nature through the hand alone. - President Eliot.
Put a sword into the hand and it will fight, a plow and it will till, a harp and it will play, a pencil and it will paint, a pen and it will speak. What, moreover, is a ship, a railway, a lighthouse, a palace, what indeed, is a whole city, a whole continent of cities, all the cities of the globe nay the very globe itself, so far as man has changed it, but the work of a giant hand with the human race, acting as one mighty man, has executed his will. - George Wilson, M.D., F. R. S., C.
