Quotes

  • When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through. - Steve Jobs
  • The difference between a tool and a machine is not capable of very precise distinction; nor is it necessary, in a popular explanation of those terms, to limit very strictly their acceptation. We may call all machines 'tools,' but all tools are not machines. A lathe, for instance, is called a machine; but its chief essential is a tool - the cutting tool. - Charles Babbage
  • Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. - Winston Churchill
