''.. and the crop depends upon the soil''

"While many of us are engaged in different vocations we all are trying to add to human joy and happiness. [..]


The wants of the savage are few, but as civilization increases, the intellectual horizon widens and the brain requires more and more. Every human being longs to be happy, to satisfy the wants of the body with food and with raiment, also to feed the mind according to its capacity, with wisdom, love, art, philosophy, and song. Man has advanced just in proportion as he has mingled thought with his work: just in proportion as he has succeeded in getting his hands and head into partnership. Every brain is a field where nature sows the seeds of thought, and the crop depends upon the soil."

Warren S. Casterlin in the foreword of his book "Steel Working and Tool Dressing" in the year 1914.
