[Hickory]

"Because our country's pioneers became of necessity competent handicraftsmen imposes no obligation upon the present generation of steam-heat and pushbutton settlers to emulate them with sweat and calluses. Financial considerations permitting, we are able to acquire almost any type of furniture our hearts desire, from well-constructed replicas of authentic antiques to comfortable creations of modern design. If unable to satisfy completely all his furniture wants at one time, the average householder budgets his purchases and buys carefully, thereby acquiring an increased pride of ownership derived from a well-considered comparison of values.

"It is doubtful, however, whether this ultimate pride of possession ever approximates the deep satisfaction of the craftsman who successfully constructs a comfortable and useful piece of furniture that in appearance and workmanship closely resembles the product of experienced cabinetmakers. To achieve such a result through one's own planning and with one's own hands is a tangible monument to the self-reliance and the inherent ability of an amateur to invade successfully the guild of master craftsmen. This guild is not only an ancient but also a most honorable one, who members were, and still are, truly artists in wood, although the pride of craftsmanship that formerly prompted to many of them to sign their products has necessarily disappeared as the result of our modern system of specialized products and mass production, under which no one individual and be entirely responsible for the finished product."

-B.W. Pelton, Furniture Making and Cabinet Work

[Maudie]

"Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible (p. 132)." Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
