History on the Cutting Edge

"The artisan who lovingly turns out something with his own hands is happier than the politician who sways multitudes. For the one is giving true expression to his own ideas, while the other is apt to be swayed by the feelings of the crowd."--David Sarnoff

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal."--Henry Ford
