Leather Pride

Famous quotes containing the words leather and/or pride:

“In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

“A falcon, towering in her pride of place,
Was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
