We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.
Ernest Hemingway

The life so short, the craft so long to learn.
Hippocrates

We travel together, passengers on a little spaceship, dependent on it's vulnerable reserves of air and soil, all committed, for our safety, to it's security and peace. Preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work and the love we give our fragile craft.
Adlai E. Stevenson

Though the artist must remain master of his craft, the surface, at times raised to the highest pitch of loveliness, should transmit to the beholder the sensation which possessed the artist.
Alfred Sisley

The more you are blessed with experience, the fuller and the more enriched you are in your craft.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The difference in the meaning of "craft" in Adlai E.
Stephenson's quote and the others is interesting to me. I find the English language so fascinating, full of 'quirky' words, double meanings, double pronunciations, homynyms, antonyms, crazy grammar rules -the list goes on . . .

As always, Don, thanks for the good quotes.

Very good quotes for me this morning - somehow it teaches me to focus - I made "dry" coffee this morning, not very crafty

Excellent and timely quotes, Don.
I'm working on two types of crafts today, I have accepted that my work will never be perfect,
but I know they will be welcomed.
#1, are personal crafts projects.
#2, is the " fragile craft."
