Famous quotes containing the word trades:

    It is the best of all trades to make songs, and the second best to sing them.
    Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)

    If a man lose his balance, and immerse himself in any trades or pleasures for their own sake, he may be a good wheel or pin, but he is not a cultivated man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Men and boys are learning all kinds of trades but how to make men of themselves. They learn to make houses; but they are not so well housed, they are not so contented in their houses, as the woodchucks in their holes.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
