A Quote by Mercedes Lackey

The dragonets found the carpenters to be even more fascinating than the furniture, and followed the poor men from pen to pen, crowding around to watch, tasting the wooden planks, trying to steal the tools. It made for an interesting day for everyone, as the boys tried to keep the dragonets away from the carpenters, and the dragonets tried to get at the carpenters, and the carpenters worked probably a great deal faster than they ever had in their lives, sure that the dragonets would go from tasting the wood to tasting them.

I insist that the object of all true education is not to make men carpenters, it is to make carpenters men.

W. E. B. Du Bois

Last century, when the beams needed replacing, carpenters used oak trees that had been planted in 1386 when the dining hall was first built. The 14th-century builder had planted the trees in anticipation of the time, hundreds of years in the future, when the beams would need replacing. Did the carpenters plant new trees to replace the beams again a few hundred years from now?

Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves.

Gautama Buddha

I love everything John Carpenters ever done.

D. J. Cotrona

As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.

Suicides have a special language. Like carpenters they want to know which tools. They never ask why build.

Anne Sexton

In a world where carpenters get resurrected, everything is possible.

Raise high the roof-beam, carpenters. Like Ares comes the bridegroom, taller far than a tall man.

Sappho

Actors are the most generous people when it comes to sharing their technique. But if you grew up in a household of carpenters, and you're making a table, everyone would have a different way of doing it.

Christian Camargo

I don't meet stockbrokers or carpenters or coal miners; I spend all day with actors, composers and photographers.

Michael Caine

I like the Carpenters and Elvis.

Sia

Well-makers lead the water (wherever they like) ; fletchers bend the arrow ; carpenters bend a log of wood ; wise people fashion themselves.

Gautama Buddha

Los Angeles is peopled by waiters and carpenters and drivers who are there to be actors.

Patrick Duffy

I wanted to be able to talk with people who have trade jobs and make records with them. I want to do more records with carpenters, electricians, people who specialize in even more bizarre trades that are off the beaten path.

I am in the Chicago Carpenters Union. They are huge supporters of mine and of MMA.
